You Tell Me You Love Me Poem by Ravi Kopra

You tell me you love me
You feel happy and secure with me
You desire me, you want to live
Your life with me, and then ask:

Why do you not show love to me
As I show to you?
Why don't you hug me, kiss me
Take me in your arms and tell me you love me?

You give me no time to think
If I love you enough to live my life
With you, when you constantly go on
Chattering all trivial things

That are bootless to me, and then
You go on a list of all
Things that are not good for me
And want me to live like you live.

Well, you are taking my self away from me
I am I, I myself, my soul is in me.
You want my soul like yours to see
In me what you see in your self.

You want me to lose all of my self to you
You want me to forget all about myself
You want me to be you in all respects
And I say to you this: it's time to forget!
