Helplessness is key to finding love

I cannot try to but fall in love when I feel incomplete

Ego creates such an illusion that I feel I am strong, independent despite not being so.

Seems, none is complete with all the qualities that can help keep going in life.

First I fell in love with her, it was because I found her to be so helpless.

I wanted to give her my lap, my shoulder and protect her.

We unite and become one when one fills the other and then we no longer remain separate from each other.

She was the best, but never knew about it and I was her eye.

I wanted to protect her from the illusions of this world.

We now fear to fall in love fearing risking our freedom.

But what is the use of that freedom that frees me from everything but traps me to my ego,

And I am not even aware of it and neither willing to admit otherwise.

Ego make me appear strong in front of the world but extremely weak for myself.

Love so much needs self-surrender, giving up oneself for the lover.

To the extent of giving up the lover physically for her sake and if that's good for her and kills my selfish intent.

People fear to fall in love for the sake for getting vulnerable.

That's no doubt but true; but I have little realized that it is better to be fooled in search of love.

Rather than bound to my ego while proclaiming I am the independent and the free one.

There being no rule and everything seems fair in Love and war.

That's being true when the intent is genuine; that is Pure love and war for Dharma.

The means may be bad, when unavoidable but the end is fair and worth the fight.

Isn't it true, better die seeking Love and fighting a war rather than living to defend my ego and a meaningless life
