Does It Mean

Does it mean you love me more

If you carry on being yourself

Aware of my presence

But not bothered by it;

Or the acknowledging my being there

By giving me the reaction,

You know I seek.

Does it mean you love me more

If you demand from me what you want;

Or then rather choose to do

What you think I would like.

Does it mean you love me more

If you continue being yourself

Knowing that I would understand;

Or the change those parts of your being

That you know, I don’t approve of.

Does it mean you love me more

If you involve me in all you do;

Or then leave me to my own devices

Believing that I would call you

If I needed you.

Or then does it mean

That love just exists

And it is you or I

That give it meaning

Or then, unwittingly,

Snatch it away.
