Love smiles sheepishly, lingers at your doorstep, and blooms in mundane moments
It nudges into your life, bares through your annoyingly loud snores, and laughs at your terribly-phrased jokes
With a silence piercing between the walls, it rests under warm sheets, wraps you around, and stares endlessly into the ceiling
Shows up on your screen like a daily workout routine – a subtle “Good morning” immediately followed by “Have a good day”
Sometimes, it scans the entire menu only to pick your favorite dish in the end with a look deeply yearning for validation
As it slowly lays its head on your shoulder after relentlessly working from home, explaining intricate details from projects, none understood, but always heard
Peeks through your bookshelf to articulate what seems like your likes and dislikes, but your unknown character
Jots down a million instructions of care, navigating through your habits, some good, some bad
In a touch that embraces safety as you cross roads and a reassuring glance across a room that breathes discomfort
When it finishes your sentence and catches hold of the word stuck at the tip of your tongue
Vibes to your favorite playlist as it steps into your car with no knowledge of the lyric
On a monsoon day, it tilts the umbrella slightly onto your side
Finally, it dozes off on-call watching you and then, with you into a realm of eternity.
