HALF-RIGHT, HALF-WRONG

When one of my friends said,

That my behavior towards you is fatherly and dominant,

I knew he was referring to my straightforward reactions,

And honest statements about you, your actions, your creations.

He was half-right and half-wrong,

In his perceptions as per my conceptions.

He was right;

As it’s not my duty as a lover, to be a critic of my beloved,

Rather, I am supposed to lend a blind eye towards the person I have loved.

He was wrong;

As I am first of all a good friend, a well-wisher,

And then a true adorer, but never a tricky appreciator.

I did not wish or try to impose on you anything,

Rather frankly and fearlessly convey what I feel about the things.

As a true adorer, my heart does not shelter artificiality, deception,

Or any hidden agenda for the person it admits to be its own.

For me love is all about a clean and transparent acquaintance,

That does not have any room for hiding, lying, fear or shoddiness.

In love, words, emotions, thoughts flow free from the soul like a cascade,

Without being interfered, perturbed or corrupted by a calculating mind.

He went on to suggest;

That I should be cautious and courteous while conveying the truth,

Sweet, humble and shrewd enough to avoid the bitter truth.

Here again, he was half-right and half-wrong,

In his opinion and my principles.

He was right;

No one in this world likes bitter truth and everyone likes appreciation,

Be it fake, flirting and with a malicious intention.

He was wrong;

As you are not anyone but the one among many for me,

Why should I deal with the dirt of untruth or hypocrisy with thee?

For me, you are a sensible, fair and a fabulous person,

There is no reason for me to be worried about your discretion.

The only person on the earth that I have ever worshiped is thee,

That’s why I am honest and true to you as I am with me.

He was right;

In his notions of life, men, matters,

And common human behavior.

He was wrong;

In his perception, imagination and calculation,

Of my unique sweetheart, her greatness, me and my divine adoration.
