Love!

By Suryanjali Jha

Yes, you were there!

You were there for an hour or so to satisfy yourself.

You were present for your own desires and to release some of your discharge.

You came at 3 in the morning and left before someone would see us.

Ah, how can I forget that you took me to the ice cream parlour and selected your favourite flavours as I was a diabetic patient? Yes, you were there!

You took away my sickness of being extremely extroverted and left me with my silence.

And of course, you have celebrated 23 days in a month with me (skipping those hard 7 days). Yes, you were there!

Remember how you guided me not to wear clothes that were liked by you on other females pictures on social media?

You have made me feel like I am on your list with 20 others.

Yes, yes, of course you were there in my mind, a mind that has trusted you blindly.
