A Preface to Love

You walk a few miles toghether on a winter afternoon

You see them shiver a bit as the sunrays start fading away

You watch their lips glisten of saliva of talking themselves out without drinking water for hours.

There is a reason you eat out with that person.

You watch them bite the food,

And that tells a lot.

You watch them mess up the forks

And you watch that person use their hands, with a shy smile.

You watch them react to the food being spicy

And they take your bottle and gulp the water down,

And then smile of akwardness.

There is a reason you go to watch movies

You watch them select the seats, you eat from the same popcorn tub

You watch their emotions as the movie plays out.

Then comes a day

When they fall sick,

You watch them burn in fever, and murmur gibberish.

You watch them vomit and in loose motion, that is how you get to really know a person.

You feel them with their true emotions and self.

That is how buds of true love form.

Whether they shall blossom or not is your story to write my friend.
