Did I care?
I did not care if you were tall dark or handsome
I never cared if you crooned like a lover
I did not know if your heart skipped many beats when you looked at me
I did not care if my perfume ever reached you
I did not care if your eyes were black or brown
I did not care if you were white or black or brown
I did not care if you could pick me up in your arms
I did not care if you could take me around the world
I did not care if you paid the bills or you had the cash
I never asked you the moon or even a single star
I never knew if you had a great clan or were a simple man
I ever cared for was my very own emotions
I cared when I looked in your eyes and my heart sang
I cared when you held my hand and I wanted this to last forever
I cared when you touched my lips and I realized my own thirst
I cared when you quenched my loneliness
for I knew what it meant to love you
for I knew what it meant to not demand love from you!
…true n very true that’s what it is like not being demanding and letting loose your pure emotions with unselfishness…’coz those are simple feelings that tend to make you uninhibited…fortunate are those who get to know their love who vibe upon the like / similar chord … great dear Pritts for getting us know nuances of love and care …which most of us find either in books, stories or beautiful poetry spilling out from a beautiful heart … thanx for being beautiful as ever… Dear …!!!
Wow …
…that is also true Pritts that the unborn comes to life and breathes through your poetry every time you come up with these heart wrenching verse…we have our own limitations…howsoever hard we strive …we cannot create someone we would wish for … 🙁
What a BOLD expression of your LOVELY But TENDER Feelings…
Great writing….. Pritpal….
