nirbhao

If you hold her in the hollow of your arm, tempting her to stay while you sleep
Are you lovers?
If your kisses are limited to trembles and whispers just above the collarbone
Are you lovers?
When your fingers travel miles without ever bending a knuckle
Are you lovers?

And when you end each conversation with, "I love you,"
Do you mean it?
When you smile at her voice
Do you mean it?
When your whole world is crumbling down and you tell her that you need her
Do you mean it?

What about her?
When you tell her that you don't like to see her cry_
What about her?
When she becomes inconvenient
What about her?
You say that you'll be there, good bad or indifferent
What about you?
