SO I THINK I LIKE HER

[When common friends begin to fall for each other, it's what I call "Emotional ballroom dancing". We all play it. I just happened to be the platform for 'their' dance.]


HIM:
I wish I had it all figured out,
I wish I could say that this is the final product
 and thus it is ready to roll out.
But I can’t!
 and right now,
 I realise that that is NO reason not to say it...
I like her.

HER:
I wonder if he has figured out,
That I wonder if he wonders I do,
But if I work real hard I’ll keep it under wraps,
And will neither give myself up,
Nor deposit a clue,
But God knows my heart knows,
I like him.

HIM:
Falling in love is easy,
Attractive eyes,
beautiful smile
and sweet voice.
Staying in love is the hard bit,
Fights,
 misunderstanding,
compromise and preferences.
But, irrespective of the instances...
 I like her.

HER:
Agony is debating,
There’s no pleasure in waiting,
And what if he’s a bastard in the end?
With no assurance,
And no guarantee,
But risking
My whole heart in
For no other reason,
than that I like him.

HIM:
Well she doesn’t know yet,
So no need to tell her,
We’ll call it our little secret.
From heart to pen to paper,
[whispering...]
I really do like her...

HER:
Well he doesn’t know yet,
So no need to expect him,
I’ll store my feelings at the back,
In a bottle and cork the rim,
[whispering...]
I’ll wait for him.

  1. The angst of waiting. Generally, a good piece. I Like the symmetry in their thoughts and expressions and it really does portray correctly the dance between the initial awakening to the final fulfillment. Bravo!!
