Searching for the reasons to talk. Looking out for ways to be together. Waiting all night for the next day to show up. Aren’t these some symptoms of love.
It was a new day for both of us.
Our life had changed with just three words.
The twist and turns, the ups and downs we experienced alone till now. We were in a mood to forget all and create our world, beautiful and small.
The first morning of love, I am sure it was a very different feeling we felt. There was an anxiety, some nervousness and way too much freaking out. My lips were haunted with smiles and my mind was all ready to shout.
My fingers couldn’t handle the shiver and my eyes were stuck on my phone. I looked at your pictures and practiced being normal.
Took my bike keys and stepped out of my door. I was excited to see you and live this new day, we were about to explore.
My mind couldn’t stop thinking about you. I counted each second I moved. Every minute I was some meters closer to you.
It was all different. The world around me was moving in peace. As if this day was special for each. I could see happy faces and smiling lips all around me. I heard someone singing. Was it real or it was just me.
I had not noticed for a while, my lips were still curved into the same smile I was carrying from the last night when you sat behind me on my bike and held me tight.
For next half hour I was under a strong spell of your thoughts. When reached, I rushed inside the office, on fourth floor. I walked inside the wing door and saw you looking at me with your head from above the cubicle.
There was a sudden smile on our faces. We stared at each other for a while and we couldn’t control our smiles.
I walked towards you and grabbed a chair to sit closer. I took your hand and lifted it up and kissed it over and over. You looked at me with a beautiful smile. I said ‘I love you’ and you repeated the three words and left me mesmerized.
I wanted to capture us into a picture. So I took out my phone and asked you for a photo. We posed together alone for the first time. And the photo stayed with me for the rest of my life.
We talked the whole day and looked at each other and smiled. We wanted to be more close and hold each other tight. I would peek up from my desk and would see just the top of your head. I would feel satisfied just with the idea of you being close to me even if you were just two desk ahead.
The lunch time was difficult. We couldn’t sit together. But we stared at each other from our tables.
I was desperately waiting for the evening, so that we could go out together and spend some time talking and feeling the love we’d just found.
The day ended with parting us for the night. Leaving us alone after I took a left and you took a right. It was all new then and it always remained new whenever I thought about my first day with the moon.
