My Only Love

24th September 2007,

It is when I saw you for the first time

Long hair, sharp eyes, pleasant face

With a genuine smile.

I just couldn't take my eyes off you

I seriously don't know why?

Then, I don't know who you were

And had zero knowledge about the game.

You are the reason for me to watch cricket

And you would be the reason for me to quit.

Everything inside that stadium is you and only you.

My eyes will always be searching for you

No matter how many players are around.

Everything you do seems right

And anyone who praises you would be my friend

One glance at you makes me smile

One tear in your eyes makes me cry

One shot is enough to give me goosebumps,

My all-time captain

You would always be my king.

I envy two beautiful ladies of your life

The one you chose as your wife

And the one God chose for you

Your little munchkin Ziva

But I love them too as you do.

We may never meet

But ever if we do, I want to tell you that

I love you and this one life of mine is only for you.

Oh my dear Mahi

With love your devotee.

If I keep writing,

The words would be flowing

And this poem would never end

Just like my love for you.
