Overrated and talked about
Earlier it was only stories
But now love is cliched out.
What kind of love do we have?
I'd often ask
Because cliches,
Something I am not too fond of.
You'd never say anything
Just watch me speak.
I'd follow your gaze backwards,
looking at me, through you,
And wonder, what do you see?
At that moment
your eyebrows shoot up
Cause I don't know how
But you know when
Something's in my head
And I, as usual
Would mirror you,
To find my way out of you.
With the sudden realisation,
That eyelocks are cliche
And cliches,
I am not too fond of.
Sometimes we don't talk.
Silently just sit out.
You probably thinking of
Future ahead,
And me of a forever,
That we might not have.
Then I look at you
Under the dancing shadows
Of the gulmohar nearby.
Your hand reaches out
to caress my cheek
While you are still lost
In some epiphany,
I see your eyes
And ask you about it.
You smile and shrug,
But the sudden touch
Had made me flush,
Cliche, I know
Something I am not very fond of.
I remember,
The first time we went out,
Our first fight,
And how chocolates,
made everything right.
I left the last bite,
And you,
Ate another half,
Was it a competition?
I would've asked,
But looked at you instead,
Trying to decipher,
What you had,
At the back of your head,
You looked back,
Like I was some lost case,
Sawying your head in discontent,
You picked, with a sigh,
what remained of the chocolate
And quickly pushed
It down my lips,
To kiss them soon after.
Cliche?
I don't know.
