perfection

When you said you loved me

I remembered I was a girl.

I had been only breathing.
Surviving...

Forgetting-

What this heart was for.

When you said you loved me

I felt sparks unleashed.

Like bubbles 

Rushing to the top.

And I blushed like a sunset.

When you said you loved me

The earth stopped moving

And the sky, in pink and purple-greys

Became a memory

I’ve carried with me till today.

 I’ve never had a moment since

A touchstone of happiness –

As that day –

When you said you loved me.
