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...]
[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...]
[whispering...]
I’ll wait for him.
Me like!
ReplyDeleteThe 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!!
