Never : A Perfect Love Story.

I'll never miss
roses or pastries
on Valentine's day
as long as he offers
me hopes & cures
on a painful day.

I'll never mind
his absences
on 'important' days
as long as his presences
brighten my blue days.

I'll never need wishes
on anniversaries or birthdays
as long as he holds my hand
on various random days.

I'll never crave 'I love you'
& other silly displays
as long as he stays true
& loyal to me, always.

I'll never want a 'perfect' man for me
till the end of my days,
as long as my man loves me
in myriad imperfect ways.
