What are you doing here, I asked him startled

You got married a few days back only

I can't get you out of my mind

The encounter we had, made me restless

I can't make love to my wife

She's no where to the fire you exude, he replied

Guy, you just had a love marriage, I said

You should be on your honeymoon

Rather at my door steps

I can't perform

I can't figure out what's wrong

But I am wired with your thoughts

I never knew what's fire until I met you

Unfortunately, a few days before my marriage

She's the girl I loved

And will live with

But you are the woman I lust

And would rather die with

Even if for a few moments, he persisted

I can't wreck your marriage, I said somberly

I can't be accountable for something which will only reduce you to ashes

Please give a chance, he insisted

Our marriages will remain safe

What would have been my course

Closed doors!
