Negar Chegeninezhad Poet Free verse

The boldest lover

**Yes—

I am the boldest lover in all the world.

Who could ever claim to love more fiercely than I?

I spent countless years behind a window,

gazing at a path I knew you would never take toward me.

I sent arrow after arrow of love your way,

fully aware you would snap them and cast them aside.

I bought you gifts with trembling joy,

though I knew you would never choose a gift for me.

And I wrote you poems—

words you would never read.

I remained in love with you,

knowing you would never love me back;

I burned with longing for you,

knowing I would never reach your hands.

And still—forever—

I am your lover.

Who could dare claim

to love more than I?**
