To Ramya, because when I showed you my dark side, instead of running away, you rolled over and pointed out the stars
If your love was a colour
It would be
The darkest shade of red
Vibrant, and angry
And oh-so-brilliant.
–
If your love was a flower
It would be a Larkspur
Blooming only
In the spring
And, leaving me
Cold in the winter.
–
If your love was a word
It would be orphic
Mysterious, and beyond
Ordinary understanding.
–
If your love was a feeling
It would be
The overwhelming desire
To kiss someone
You can never have.
–
If your love was a place
It would be a cave
In the wilderness
Safe in the mornings
Scary at nights.
–
If your love was a time
It would be midnight
On New Year’s
The beginning
And, the end
Of everything.
-The Girl Lost In The Bookstore

I can literally understand that affection that you feel for a real and good friend. I’ve got a friends who I love and honestly I don’t think I’ll ever be able tp put my affection for her into words…
But wow, this poem. ❤

I think one of the best things in life is having such people, and you can’t put in words how they make you feel. Isn’t it?
Thank you. ❤

If my fascination were an action
It would be
My fingers rushing
To tap you on the back
Just to say
“Your writings
Kinda make my day”
If my fingers could convey
The same through tippity tapping
On this tiny little keypad
Then that’d be just great
BTW, make sure that I’m one of the first people who get to read your future book that I can almost already visualise. Cool? 😀
