if i love you

if i love you 

and i fear how you will  love me 

then i will never stretch one wing

or see the earth as anything but sufferable;

another spring will pass

without my seeing anything

but me,

but if i leave expectancies out all night

so that they spoil and congeal 

on the counter,

hope and faith will be relieved;

love being the strongest of the three

will be remaining,

and i would rather love you helplessly

than any way at all.

love being the strongest of the three
will be remaining,

Great write, either you can love her, or leave your expectations way high up so that hope and faith will come as an outcome, love always the strongest, if there is no love, no poetry even, unfortunately poet can not stretch a wing as love is not possible in mutual way at this minute, still poet is not succumbing to the situation continue to love her helplessly, pain is felt and clearly projected with emphasis in this poem

I did not eat breakfast or lunch yet even it is on the table next to me warm, sent teen to college which is a hassle, so if I get a gastric ulcer all these poets will be partially responsible for
it too, I think it may be a call for me, leaving up to the time to tell
