92. Freedom of love
Is it honest of me to withold my feelings from you?
I don't know, but I did it only from consideration,
that is, at any cost I wanted to spare you, save you,
protect you from getting hurt and not risk burdening you,
because you were free, and I wanted you to remain free.
So please be free, my love, and let me love you freely,
and you won't get hurt by that freedom,
since it is the highest freedom of love
that can't be valued, fettered or brought down,
I give you my freedom that you may save your own,
and thus my love is the more free and pure and honest
for my protecting you from it.
