how I approached "Love"...

I see the undulating* grace of the cat crossing the road, the celerity* of the cars passing by, the breeze wafting through the trees making them appear as though they are conversing..and strangely about me, wondering..who this girl is..standing so lost and yet so cognizant*...I see eyes, eyes approaching me, a smile so sincere reflecting in them, averting my thoughts from the ardent love I was feeling, I smiled back at them... This was the moment, the moment I had been waiting for such a long time and yet I felt tongue-tied..

We expatiated* among those trees and talked about a sundry other things with bonhomie*...I was scared he wouldn't even try to fathom* my feelings, being biased by his principles..We had loved each other and had done blunders.. the thought of questioning his heart again was highly discomfiting.. The sun was setting into the horizon and the beautiful colors of the sky brightened his face in a charming way... I wanted to forestall my feelings, but what was in front of my eyes, was so personable* and so beautiful at heart that there was no stopping.. Now I was facing him, I looked into his eyes with all the love in my heart, this held him for a moment... Without giving him a chance to digress*, I held his hand between both of mine and shushed him... and my heart spoke -

" Without you by my side I may learn how to laugh, but not be happy; I may not pine* away in grief but today if I don't ask you, I am sure to wake up one morning wondering how beautiful life could have been together; I still may live a life worth living, but if I don't speak out my heart now, I will never in life be able to do so; I may not be able to wait for you all my life, but I've been waiting and still I am, for your heart to speak the truth... for I love you with a selfless heart... My reasonless love awaits your reply."
