We Must Love Someone (Ruskin Bond)

We must love someone

If we are to justify
Our presence on this earth.

We must keep loving all our days,

Someone, anyone, anywhere
Outside our selves;

For even the sarus crane
Will grieve over its lost companion,

And the seal its mate.

Somewhere in life
There must be someone

To take your hand
And share the torrid day

Without the touch of love
There is no life and we must fade away.
