LOVE

Aiman Khan

They say I shouldn't love you

That I shouldn't care

But I can't help it

If I need you like air

I hardly ever see you

We never talk on phone

But I can't help my feelings

Even though I always end up alone

I'm coming to see you soon

And of course I'm so glad

But if I'm not able to make it

My life will turn so sad

I need you in my life

I want you by my side

Cause you're really a true friend

But our lives never seem to collide

But I'm secretly loving you

Though my friends say no you can’t

But why should I listen to them

If it's only going to break my heart

I think I am in love.

In love for the third time.

First time it was when my uncle gifted me my first storybook, a famous five by Enid Blyton. I was just 11 years old. My love for books has never diminished since. Not even my love for Sandhya, whom I married after four years of a torrid affair, could lessen my first love. Whatever her hatred for books, she learnt to share her bed with my books.

That was till Rags4u came into my life. We met in an online forum discussing books. She was a literature graduate doing P.G. and a bookworm like me. We shared all our knowledge of books. She had a great collection of classics. We talked about fiction, dramas, poetry, genres of literature, Ayn Rand, Harper Lee, Lawrence, Huxley. When at home I used to think about which book should I discuss with her, when at office I used to rush my work so that I may sit at my PC.

I was feeling so good that Sandhya asked one evening why was I so excited these days. "I am in love with Rags4u," I told a confused Sandhya, " Well not that I don't love you, you are my life, but I cant imagine a day without talking to Rags4u. I feel great when I see her online. Whenever I read a good novel I want to share with her. I think this is love, platonic love, Sandhya".

She was smiling. I think she has understood me. After all she is my second love.

I love the way you look at me,

Your eyes so bright and blue.

I love the way you kiss me,

Your lips so soft and smooth.

I love the way you make me so happy,

And the ways you show you care.

I love the way you say I Love You,

And the way you're always there.

I love the way you touch me,

Always sending chills down my spine.

I love that you are with me,

And glad that you are mine.
