Mismatched Rhythm

 Mistmatched Rhythm

- Jerusha Patel 

I wrote a message to you that night, 

I meant it with every tear, 

No man's ever had his way with me, 

Love is my biggest fear 

They ask me why him? 

Well, I wish I knew the answer 

I guess it's just attraction 

Or maybe our mismatched rhythm 

I don't allow affection, 

run when it finds my way

But I love when you take care of me, 

You're now a part of my prayer 

I love when you blow on my tea, 

And  how you talk to my sister 

I love how you're mending our relation,

And when you wait at the train station 

I love how you open my bag like it's your own,

how you want to get out of your comfort zone

I love when you run to me like a little baby, 

And when you walk slowly cause I've hurt my heel 

I love how you acknowledge your weakness, 

And rub my hand when I've hurt it 

I love when you bought popcorn for me, 

Even though you missed a part of the movie 

I love when you hold my bag, 

And all the random kisses 

I love your chin resting on my head, 

and how you block the straw before I sip 

I love how we both respect our art, 

and learn from each other 

I love when you recognise my hidden talents, 

And when you asked me to become Director 

But most of all I love how we're friends 

And how you show me the finger, 

I love the way you bend to hug me, 

While your perfume still lingers
