I'm planning to keep you

All to myself for a while, he said

How long is that while, she laughingly asked

For seasons, he replied

Not till death do us apart

For I lust for life

With you

You have infused my being

With emotions which I have missed all these years

I want you for my selfish interest

I won't say the cliched lines

You are the world to me

But I wish to build my world around you

I won't promise you anything

But would ensure you a secured garland

As long as I live

Be with me

As long as we are destined to be, my love.
