The Secret Lover
He loved me first
Followed wherever I went
Helped me in all ways
Hiding his identity
When I broke down
He came asking
If everything was okay
When I felt happy
He longed to join me
When I was in need
He gave everything
He was overjoyed
Seeing me smile
Wondered I who he is
Why would he do all this?
I loved all he did for me
Yet not so interested in him
I knew him not
Nobody knew him either
Why didn’t I quite like him?
I know not but he’s good
When I asked what he wanted
Most loving smile was his reply
He didn’t speak more
Never introduced him
Nor induced himself
He was quiet and very loving
When it was time to know each other
Came he with joy and expectation
That I would fall in love
But still distant felt I
Adamantly renounced
After everything he gave me,
I presented a crown
As my gift in return
Even I placed it on his head
Acclaimed he looked a king
He accepted it with a smile
Gently gazing upon me
Not minding the blood
Shedding around his head
Caused by the thorns of the crown
He looked through my eyes
With so much love
Which broke me into pieces
And said “I love you” smiling!!!
