A poem by Samyak Shah
If
you felt sorry for having loved them,
It
wasn’t love
If
you felt worthless for having loved them,
It
wasn’t love
If
you felt like a toy while loving them
It
wasn’t love
If
you forgot that even you were a human
It
wasn’t love
If
communication wasn’t the only barrier you had
It
wasn’t love
If
love bites weren’t the reason for your body being red
It
wasn’t love
If
the pain wasn’t sweet and worth longing for
It
wasn’t love
If
you forgot to distinguish between want and necessity
It
wasn’t love
But
If
you listened to these things and yet you loved them
It
clearly wasn’t love
