Do I still need to?

I still remember that monotonous night of mine which turned into the most impeccable morning of ours. Since that night it has been impossible for me to stay away from you. From being classmates to being each other’s everything, we have not left a single stone unturned. It is because of you and your efforts that we are still together, regardless of all my muddles and flaws. 

When I had no shoulder to cry on, you came as a knight in shining armor and turned my life upside down.  Perhaps ‘You’ is a very small three-lettered word, but for me, you are my rounded realm, my whole world. You are the purest soul that I have come across. Everyone has their own mistakes, and so do we. But you’ve always shown me how much more I mean to you than our stupid arguments. 

Let’s go for the mission ‘forever’ which, these days, is a little hard to find. Let’s be the token of true and lucid love in the world of infatuation and pretension. I am waiting for the day when you would ask me to be the Monica to your Chandler, the Icing to your Cake, the Sweetheart to your Darling, and the Dal to your Chawal. Haha!

Do I still need to say ‘I love you’ when every word of mine explains how I feel about you? 

Do I still need to say ‘I love you’ when every kiss of mine portrays the depth of my feelings for you? 

Do I still need to say ‘I love you’ when every caress of mine brings out how much I care for you? 

Do I still need to say ‘I love you’ when every breath of mine belongs to a single person who undeniably is you? 

I don’t think I need to, but I’ll always say it, no matter what. 

I love you. I love you so much. I love you to the moon and back.
