Loverbirds Day

Author’s Note: I celebrate this day every year with my sisters. Even though I may be alone, it does not stop me from writing these couple of Valentine’s day notes. 

Forgive me if I love you too much

And I’ll forgive you for not loving me enough.

Best friends are like diamonds, rare to find

So are you and I won’t lose you easily

They said, No woman ever falls in love with a man

Unless she has a better opinion of him than he deserves

To hate you is a sin, he remembers you, is a promise

To forget you is a crime, to love you is a compulsory right

A real friend walks with you when the rest of the world walks on you

A real friend laughs with you when the rest of the world laughs at you

A real friend talks to you while the rest of the world talks behind you

My love have you not been a good friend? How can I pay you?

You asked me, what I liked about you

And…I hesitated not knowing what to point out

And what not to

Perhaps I should have said

It is your voice…that deep well

That comes so deep

And sounds so strong

Or maybe I could have answered…your courage, your demeanor

The arrogance of a peacock, the pride of a lion

That knows how to hold its own.

Yet that would have let out the intangible you

The chemistry

The magic that your admiring eyes hurt on me

So I begged not to answer

Maybe this answer lies not with me

But with us

With the knowledge that I…you…me

Are really truly soulmates

You stood by me in hard times

Supported me when I needed you the most

Embraced me when I was so full of fear

Hugged me tightly against your breast

I felt the warmth which drove out my fear

And gave me strength, what can I do without you?

I really, really, really love your charm
