Not my white, not my black, be my grey!

It's okay if mine isn't the first voice you hear when you wake up

But don't sleep without creating a little memory with me

Just leave a text saying "can't wait to tell you what happened today" and that will be okay!

Don't bring me gifts on every special occasion

But don't forget the important dates

Just a heartfelt 'I love you' and a forehead kiss will be okay!

Don't send me long paragraphs saying why you love me

But don't just forget my value in your life

Once in a while surprise me with an untouched memory of ours and that will be okay!

Don't try too hard to make up my bad mood

But don't just say that 'time will heal' and push me away

Instead hold my hand and say "we are in this together" and that will be okay!

Don't check my phone or call me to know my whereabouts all the time

But also don't forget that I exist

Just text me saying "call me when you reach home" and that will be okay!

Don't search the person I was during our initial days in me

But don't just leave my hand when you notice changes

Just accept the evolution that we've been through and that will be okay!

It's okay if we don't hold hands in the car

But don't just look in the front entirely

Just check if I've worn the seat belts properly and that will be okay!

Don't chat and talk with me the whole day

But don't keep desperately staring at the blue ticks

Just smile when the notification displays my name and that will be okay!

Don't be the reason behind my each and every happiness

But also don't forget the little things which made me smile briefly

Just be there for me when I'm hysteric and that will be okay!

Don't step out in the rain for those romantic monsoon dances

But also don't be the scorching heat of my summer life

Be my cozy blanket on a winter night and that will be okay!

Not my white,

Not my black,

Be my grey!
