Someday you will thank me,
for now you cannot grasp
what it means to love
with such intensity, as
to lose yourself completely.
Sacrificing a part of my soul
each time yours calls out.
Selflessly facing any peril,
I would fight darkness itself,
for nothing can ever harm you.
Even after my body lays withering,
I would transcend all barriers,
to be the one you call
guardian angel, forever by your side.
No! I am not capable of hating
the very being I have been
blessed to bare, as only I could.
Someday you will know real love,
when you too, can hold your heart
and soul in your arms.
