Color of Love : Red

You came into my life on 3rd Jan 1985

Changed me from what I was and how I saw myself

I graduated into a league we all talked about.

Late bloomer in my class, yet I did "bloom" at last.

All these years, you have been punctual (more or less)

Never missed a date!

You have been with me, through thick and thin

With you around, I never was a girl!

You made sure I became a woman!

You have made my moods better

As time passed, you became painful

But a pain I looked forward to!

You marked many important memories.

Esp with my DAD!

I somehow was never prepared for you

And it was always a stress in case you came unannounced.

If you did on days I wasn't ready, someone was there to help.

Never in these years, have we not been companions.

Then you started getting late, I became older.

I was always ready now, but you... you ditched me with time

I was now eager and well prepared and that's when you started playing truant.

I make a promise- I will un-prepare myself once more

Will you promise to visit me then?

The woman in me was because of you.

My dear Periods. They call you "Chums" for a reason

And as you recede and stop visiting,

They say I am set for the final round.

But how will I manage without you?

I don't really know life without you!

As you ebb the flow, my body is having mood swings. They call it Flashes I am told.

But I would exchange that for the pain you got.

Any day.

Come visit me once more

So that I can feel you once more.

In entirety.

Love you with all my being.

For once, its the Red I like, coz

The Color of Love is Red.
