A LOVER'S LOT

Before

All I ever seek,

Is one heart that yearns for me

One person I have to me

Even when all I say is gibberish

Will you listen till your ears itch?

Will you listen to my plight?

Even when my words are light

Will you seek me to please

Even when your breath is about to cease.

The beginning

Your viscous curls is a representation of how my stomach churns everytime I see you

Your eyebrows look like the flawed arrow Cupid shot to my heart

Your eyes show me the blueprint of my future

Your nose tip attracts mine

Your cheeks are glazed with cuteness

Your philtrum looks like mine to fill

Your lips are mine to graze

I'm in love!!

The middle

You fill me up

Then leave me at my brink

I want to get overflowed by you

You stay all day with me

But you eventually leave for the night

I want you by my side always

You talk to everytime

But you keep silent for a minute

I want you talking all times

You sing my praises always

But you did not complement my toe nails!

Do you even love me?

You have got me like a deranged cow

You have got me like opium

I need your every second dose

Is this what love is,

Emotional dependence

Incompleteness

Unhealthy clinginess

Why do I feel I can't close enough to you?

Love is a web after all

I love being stuck with you

I want to be tangled with you.

I do not want to think of the day you will love me not

For that day,a part of my existence is gone.

"The end"

I love love

I love the tingles it brings

The silliness it requires

The unnecessary laughter to everything

The chuckles and grins

The blushes and pouts,

Love is beautiful.

But this is the day

When we no longer feel same way

Wait!

I do not want this day…
