For N and A

They'll think it's freaky that I wrote this crappy poem for them. I'm trying to write one after years. This is for my oldest friend and his new girlfriend...


For N and A


He plays her favorite songs
And does all her favorite things
Jumps up when she sneezes
And every single time she pleases

Looks miserable when she's in pain
Comes running all the way
He'll look at her when she's not looking
And nothing can break that away

She smiles when he holds her
Looks for him- he's two steps away
There's a longing never fulfilled
And while the mystery's unfolding it never will

She's laid down the rules
He'll stick by through and through
Promises not thought about
Fears and tears not cleared

She'll weep and break his heart
He'll break her's back and mend it again
But for now it's bright new love
Don't let the curtains drop - not yet.

-A. Tulsiani
