Proof

By Samarth Bhatkar

First sight, handshakes,

Air flows, no mistakes,

Small talks, no breaks,

He leaves, you escape.

You sleep, no rest,

You dream, a new crest,

Heartbeats, you turn left,

He lives, you're obsessed.

Meet again, you flush,

Your shoulders brush,

He talks, you blush,

A sense of a gold rush.

Good friends, light jokes,

You talk, he just knows,

He smiles, you adore,

You know,

It's something more.

Fridays, night dates,

Your stories, he relates,

You listen, he narrates,

He invites, his place.

Sundays, workouts,

Evenings, you hangout,

He walks, you count,

He breathes, you drown.

You met, last month,

Same seat, same bus,

He laughs, you think of,

How you're in love.

Locked up, same room,

His neck, your perfume,

Soft touch, eyes glow,

You blush, warm snow,

He smiles, you hide,

He turns on the light,

He shines, sunset,

Your pain, you forget,

Silence in the air,

He plays, your hair,

You move, he too,

Follows you through,

He slurs, pauses,

And says we're more than

just friends,

You know what it was,

He too is in love.
