And She Asked...

On a balmy evening, 

Looking at the flowing stream, 

She asked, "how do I know I love her?" 

And I replied...

Do I love you?

I don’t know what love is

But I want to feel it with you

If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?

Maybe I don’t think of you all time

But I care and ask, “Have you eaten yet?”

If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?

I don’t cry about your problems

But I help and teach you to face them

If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?

I’m a practical-thinking kind person

But with you, I try to be crazy like you

If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?

I don’t smile or laugh a lot

But with you, I’m all smiles

If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?

I don’t talk a lot on the telephone

But I’m all jittery when you’re not reachable

If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?

Yes, we fight many times

But next morning, I try everything to make things work

If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?

I have her number saved, my ex

But I feel guilty when I see her profile picture

If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?

I hate khichu and sandwiches

But with you, I eat it to see laugh on your face

If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?

I’m good when I’m alone

But with you, everything seems pleasing

If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

How do you know that you love me?

You ask this question many times

But I reply today with this poem

If that’s love, then yes, I love you.
