Love Rooted in the Present Moment

| Love Rooted in the Present Moment | A Poem by Touha Khan |
I love you, just as you are—here and now,
Not for who you might become, nor for a polished ideal,
Not for promises carved in the uncertain stone of tomorrow.
Not for who you might become, nor for a polished ideal,
Not for promises carved in the uncertain stone of tomorrow.
I need nothing beyond what we have today—
The raw truth of your being,
The imperfections that make you whole,
The silent moments where no words are required.
The raw truth of your being,
The imperfections that make you whole,
The silent moments where no words are required.
I do not ask you to change or give more than what you are ready to offer,
Nor do I seek to bind you with expectations Or tether you to a vision of what could be.
Nor do I seek to bind you with expectations Or tether you to a vision of what could be.
When change comes, as it will with time I will be here, ready to walk that path with you,
To grow, to evolve, to find new shades of love.
But all I need is this present moment with you,
To love you as you are, without demands or promises,
Knowing that this love is enough.
To grow, to evolve, to find new shades of love.
But all I need is this present moment with you,
To love you as you are, without demands or promises,
Knowing that this love is enough.
-A poem by Touha Khan

Poem Explanation in Arabic: تُظهر القصيدة الحب غير المشروط، وتُقدر شريك الحياة كما هو في الحاضر. يحتفل المتكلم بجوهر حبيبته الصافي وغير المُزيَّف، ويرفض أي توقعات أو تصورات مستقبلية. يُقدِّر كل لحظة في حقيقتها، بدون ضغط للتغيير. وبينما يقر بأن التغيير أمر حتمي مع الوقت، يظل المتكلم مخلصًا في التزامه بالحب والنمو معًا، مرتكزًا على قبول يكفي بذاته.
