LOVE LIKE THIS

I am in Braden's house,a friend of mine.We had plans to study together.At this time, I am alone & as I flip through Braden's English book, I come across this piece of paper that surprises me-

LOVE'S LIKE THIS

I watch you smile,I watch you cry
I watch you like everytime
I see you are beautiful
& when you suddenly turn to me
I can hardly breathe,love's like this

I hear you speak & read your silence
I think your every jokes are funny
& if it's for you,I'd believe lies
Cause I'm lost in the beauty of your eyes
but it's so hard to tell you in words,love's like this

You are on my lips & you are on my mind
everytime I close my eyes,I see your face
I care for you & hope to be understood
Cause you are special, you are the 1& they think I've gone crazy,love's like this


When you are around,I don't see any1 else
You are mesmerizing like a dream
When you are gone,I need you so bad
Love's so deep yet I'm not sure
It's real yet so fragile,love's like this

(Just then Braden arrives & I'm caught red-handed with his poem that he's written so well).
"Why did you read that?You jerk",he yells at me,rather nervously.
"Hey, don't shout, you don't have to hide from me" I demand.
He snatches the paper away from me & frantically shares his feelings to me.

After 20 minutes of serious conversation,I come to know that Braden is in love with Neharika,our mutual friend.He is going to propose her in this Valentine's day that is after 2 days.
As for me,I will hide my tears for the sake of my best friend.I too love Neharika but I've left for fate to decide.I hope the best for Braden as I say to myself "LOVE'S LIKE THIS".
