Replying to a comment on:

Dignity (Other) by kthulah

Of course I love you! Is that not clear as day? I just don't feel that love is stable ground On which to base the dream of a pursuit The climax being but a haughty laugh. So let me love you gently from afar Without a need to selfishly acquire Without convincing you what I am worth For knowing mine already is enough. It is a given that if you were mine That I would treat you better than the rest But men, appreciation do not fire It is infatuation that they crave. So though I love you more than dignity My dignity preserved is more than naught.

They've already confessed their love to the person. They just have no intention to pursue any kind of a relationship, because it is known to be unfeasable. The rejection has already been dealt with. The idea behind it is that the one who is desired should not be afraid of the fact that they are loved by the narrator, because the love just stands as it is...dignified, existing, but non possessive.
