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.

i understood. i understand with every fibre. why are people threatened by a love like this? can love ever be wrong? i think, no. i think that actions can be misguided and selfish at times, or, they can be the opposite. but a love such as this, feeling that ethereal rope which connects your heart to his, regardless of all else, is pure. other things in life may prevent you from wrapping yourselves in each other; it is that way often enough. and to live with the dignity of loving from afar without soiling your own heart, that is heroic. thank you kthulah.
