Don't say you'll give me all the happiness of the world,
Rather, crack one or two lame jokes that get a glare or maybe a smile.

Don't say you'd do anything for me,
Rather, stay and support me on everything I do.

Don't say we're bound in the after-life too,
Rather, hold my hand, make a vow to never leave me.

Don't say I'm perfect for you,
Rather, join me in wildest of my dreams.

Don't say you'll protect me for time being,
Rather, cumulate courage and propel me to fight for myself.

Don't say you'd die for me,
Rather, live and prompt me when I'm down.

Because I believe,

If thou must love me, let it be for nought.


A\N: The last line is from Elizabeth Barret Browning's  Sonnet 14.

Translation: "If you love me, let it be for nothing."
