My Words

For her

There wasn’t any reason to doubt my words;

In fact

No one doubted those words.

I had leafed through the entire dictionary,

And scraped my memory,

To choose the right words;

I limited my choice of words,

To those that sounded sweet to the ear

Gave pleasure and comfort

Even if, repeated.            

I told her straight –

‘I love you.’

‘I cannot live without you; be mine forever.’

And she did not question me.

You see, she knew and accepted these words,

My words, she could never doubt.
