last week, the college's english department asked us, the students to hand in a poem on love or friendship for the 'love & friendship day', so here's the poem i've submitted.
If i don't care for you,
then why am I worried when you're away?
If I don't care for you,
then why do I wait for your call everyday?
If I don't need you,
then why am I feeling bright when we met?
If I don't need you,
then why does your name resound in my head?
If I don't love you,
then why do I feel this tenderness in my heart?
If I don't love you,
then why does being apart from you feel so hard?
If you realize all these,
then why do you keep asking me how I feel?
I do care for you, I do need you, and I do love you,
and I want you to know that these words are real.
even if someday,
you might leave me for another girl
