I love you more than you think is proper.

I’ve been loved the same way,  
By someone whom I did not find adequate,  
Whom I did not think appropriate.

But I tried to love him.

You have not tried to love me.

At least I gain this insight into my friend  
That I can relate with his disappointment  
That I can be compassionate to his discomfort  
That I can be compassionate to yours.

And, maybe, one day, you’ll love me;  
Maybe, one day, you’ll embrace me  
And I’ll be loved the way I love, by you,  
With all the truth and dreaminess,  
With all the hope and longing,  
With all the romance and beauty  
That I see in you…

That I live in me.
