When I fell in love, it was strange.
It was different from the characters I read in fiction.
Movies did no justice –
for I did not lose my mind.
I sure did not want to be a fool.
It all felt like love in an unfamiliar terrain
But when I fell in love,
I wanted to hear your voice every day.
My heart grew restless when you did not call.
A thousand questions crowded my mind
when you did not pick up.
I nitpicked your words, and gave voice to your sighs,
I listened to your silence with rapt devotion.
When I fell in love,
I didn’t lose myself, as the movies portray.
But I thought of you every time.
Strange – because it only grows deeper.
This love keeps unfolding,
and now, I wonder where it would lead.
This, to me, is love in an unfamiliar terrain
