A feel there is a time for everyone, especially in adolescence where we love someone and they do not return our affections. It could simply be because they never knew you cared because you were too shy. It could be it was just not meant to be. I can relate to the author's torment as I had boys I liked who seemed to delight in hurting me emotionally. I can relate to the darkness and the depression that the author also experiences as he continues to love a girl who emotionally harms him. The author uses imagery and cultural notes that are uniquely Indian. He references Hindi beliefs and Indian culture in his poems. The devotion he has for this girl is strikingly parallel to religious fervor. I have read the Romantic poets in my college classes, but none of them seemed to possess such a deep love for a woman as the author holds for Annie. If you ever feel that you are alone in your love life woes this poetry is a testament that love wounds and heals all across the globe.
