You Are My Love



Yes, no more I wish to
Outlive, you my dear.

Ultimately, I am in Love with You.
Let us just enjoy our longevity

Although we suffered our dearest losses,
Rebound, was not easy for the each.

Many disappointments, proudly we suffered.
You and I also, remained free of the traps.

Very lucky are not we, you as my beloved.
I am free as you, to be loved, heal and inspire.

Regardless of few restrictions, of our past,
Glad we are, to be in love with the other.

In spite of me and you, my dear woman,
None arose me more, as you and I, as lovers.

Love as that now with you, was a dream.
Of my simple and unselfish life, so far.

Vital duty, kept me away from my search,
Enjoying births and cares of the five soils.

Most of my days were devoted for living skills.
Yearn for the love was suppressed , for my duties.

Darling you gave me. my excuses to live.
Almost which were lost, as was my Will.

Ripe beauty with few sad ripples,
Longing with the need, for the true love.

Inspired lovable, you came to my life.
Nothing now can stop me, just loving you.

Giving my all as, you are my only beloved,
To live for just each other, justified selfishness
