3. “Three Words”

3. “Three Words”

(…continued…)

Waiting for the evening glow,
lost in thoughts of Nil,
Niki hummed softly in the balcony…you know..

“With just one glance, you struck me down,
I hid my smile, my eyes turned down,
Yet in that shy and silent way,
I struck you right back without delay.

Raindrops swayed in delight,
My hair swayed free, proud, shy, and light,
You looked away, you did not see,
The storm you stirred deep inside me.

I stole a glance, began to melt,
Like water soft, that’s how I felt,
To hear those three words, low and true,
I ran, breathless, just behind you.”

– Niki
