te amo

“I love you”, to hear it once was not enough, and it had become a sort of addiction…

“I love you”, I wanted to hear it, not once, not twice but over and over again, “”I love you Shreya”. It makes me much happy when you put my name in it, actually, the happiest. I love when you called my name. I yearn to hear it from your mouth.

“I love you”, I wanted to see it spark in your eyes, not yesterday, not tomorrow, not later but every _ time we were together. I wanted to see that I was special to you, damn special, the most special.

“I love you”, I wanted to hear that, when I was flavored with optimism – dancing in the air- or when I was sobbing in a corner, I needed to know you were there, all the time.

“I love you”, I needed you to look at my eyes and get puzzled, then and there, the way I did, I needed you to look after me every _ time.

“I love you”, I wanted to hear you say whenever we banged the doors, whenever we showed our hands over another, whenever we thought of quitting it. "I love you”, I wanted you to say it. Say it every time we made excuses, every time we were hurt.

“I love you”, I wanted you to say it when the guys flirted with me, “I love you”, and I wanted you to say whenever you cracked jokes with other girls. “I love you”, I wanted you to say it.

“I love you”, I wanted to hear each time you blinked your eyes, each time you went to sleep and then woke up.

“I love you”, I wanted to hear each time we couldn’t sleep, each time we laid our heads upon each other’s shoulders. “I love you”, I needed to hear it each time when time wasn’t enough for us or each time we ran out of things to talk about.

“I love you”, I wanted to hear you say each time we would kiss, over and over again, never seeing an ending to it.

“I love you”, you would kiss my forehead every time you left for home. “I love you” your gestures would say when you hear me speak even when I’m wrong, and tell me when I’m fine. “I love you”, I need to hear you say, especially when you’re not here, I’d need it more, let us not speak a thing but them, “I love you”, and I need to hear it, until I finally would know no words but them.

“I love you”, I wanted you to say, to let you know I loved you the same. “I love you”, I would repeat after you, for us to smile that our love was requited.

“I love you”, I wanted us to say, until it was enough for eternity.
