water lilies

WATER LILIES.
It was a rainy day
When you stopped near the temple,
And bought me water lilies
In my favorite colour.
I wonder why
You treat me so gently,
And try so hard to make me happy. 
By showing me love,
You show me your heart,
And I feel honored
To be loved by you.
It is you, who are the gentle one.
Water lilies will always
Remain in my mind,
As a part of the beauty that is you.
It scares me to know
That I am loved 
So differently,
So gently, so silently.
I see how fragile your heart is
And I wonder,
If the love I can give
Will ever be good enough,
For someone like you.
You seem so ethereal, so pure,
So easy to break
In this indifferent world.
Teach me how to love you,
Teach me who you are.
When others who give flowers
Usually give roses and carnations
And orchids and such,
You gave me water lilies
Wrapped in love,
From your beautiful heart.
How could I ever forget?
You touched me
So deeply 
With your love.
