HUMTUM

Need, you said was what leads to a relationship,
Love, I said was what ignites the spark;

Love, you said arises to satiate your inner urges,
Urge, I said is born only when you love a person;

You believe in no love and
I think it is the ultimate truth;

Friendship, you say is non existent
I say it is the most self giving association;

Things can be seen differently I conclude,
What changes are the terminologies I realize;

What I define as love,
You call humanity;

What I call attraction,
You call it mere human tendency;

I know now it means the same when I say “I love you”
And when you say “ You are interesting”;

Let me propose something,
Let’s be partners!
Neither friends nor fellow human beings.

Neither in love nor detached,
Neither the same nor the opposite;

Lets be two parallel lines always close by
But never intersecting;

Let’s be partners, share lives
Celebrating our differences!!!!
