Beloved Bridget by Riddhi Saxena
I don’t know how to put these into words
but I have finally mustered the endurance
don’t know if I will be able to tell it all to you
but now I write this for you hence
T’was the amorous season of fall
and there you are holding the book
the book which I would have never read
if it was not for the way you look
all adored you for your dress and the bowtie
but those were just additions or
accessories to your eyes and smile
which were to die for
The ramparts of your hair at your ears
were hiding the sight of your eyes,
I would wait for you to look at me for once
and that’s when I learned how slowly time flies
I could always perceive your presence in my life
be it day or be it night
but I wondered if you ever heard of me
or if I was ever in your sight
But now I think I should let you know
that apart from all your admirers
Here I am who loves you for who you are
like one of the true lovers
Like the ones mentioned in books
because it’s what you deserve
and I love you much and enough
that to you, the world,
with true love and warmth
