If.

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.
