Love Decoded

By Nusrat Jahan

'Love' is not just a four-letter word ; it's an emotion that is just meant to be felt through the heart.

My love I feel you in the daytime when the sun's rays are shining on me.

My love I feel you when I am freshening up, seeing your shadow following me in every step.

My love I see your blurry face on the steamed mirror in my bathroom.

My love I see you sitting right next to me, eating off my spoon at breakfast.

My love I see you smile beautifully when I am getting ready for the day.

My love I see you standing behind the window, waving me goodbye.

My love I feel your presence when I am listening to love songs ; it reminds me of our times.

My love I smile even when I am at work, as you are on my mind all the time.

My love I called out your name in public, hoping you could be there.

My love I see our favourite photo in the sun during twilight.

My love I see you standing at the door, waiting to welcome me home.

My love I see you arranging the table for dinner.

My love I see you sleeping beside me on the bed at night.

My love I see you in dreams at night and also in the mornings.

My love, the love I have for you is infinite ; the only thing that will depart us is death, and I hope when we die, we do so in each other's arms.

I wish to have my first and last memory of yours be the same.
