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 & with a silent way
I struck you right back without delay,

Raindrops swayed in delight
My hair swayed free, proud, shy & 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 & true
I ran, breathless, just behind you.”

– Niki
