Do you love me

A lover asked his beloved:
– Do you love yourself more than you love me?

Beloved replied:
I have died to myself and I live for you.
I’ve disappeared from myself and my attributes,
I am present only for you.

I’ve forgotten all my learnings,
but from knowing you I’ve become a scholar.

I’ve lost all my strength, but from your power I am able.

I love myself.. I love you.
I love you.. I love myself.

Rumi
