He said dearly, I love you
she echoed with joy, me too.
He wished, let's get married,
in the next breath, she agreed.
He said, walk fast, I want to go far,
she raced in distress, like a car.
He groaned in despair, for not soaring high,
beyond her comfort, she was ready to fly.
He shared his wish to start a family,
she decorated the night with his favourite Lily.
Years passed, he has not whispered ‘love you’,
she still echoes quietly, in her space me too......
He now rarely finds charm at her face,
she is busy in cleaning his drawer mess.
He is irritated with her passionless life,
she still tries to be a passionate wife.
He cries, marrying her was a wrong choice,
she smiles and mutes her inner voice.
Now her kid sings dearly, Mom, I love you
She echoes with a sigh, me too.........!!!
