Love For Love's Sake

If you wish to love me
Love me for the sake of love
Don’t love me for what I am
Not even for my kind heart’
Rather love me for what I am not.
A lot is lacking, you’ll soon find out.
Why do I lack such traits?
I shall tell you myself
Of my long pats days.

I was loved but dictated
By those ahead of me
Everything I did was marked
By what the wished to see.
It took a long time to assert myself
By the time, the harm was done
And I couldn’t look back
Later on,
I learnt a lesson.
When I settled down
To my own tunes of life
My inner self wished to be on run
Making decisions right or wrong.

Now I look back
And ponder over those days!

I hope I am worthy of your love
Which can be only for love’s sake
If it’s not acceptable to you
Say goodbye and never think of me again.
