This is a love series of 12 Haikus unfolding how people meet, lust, fall in love, and how with each passing day, the love just keeps getting purer.

How it starts

Well, all it took was
Just a random text from a
“familiar” stranger.

From strangers to?

From one random text
to a thousand more, heartbeat
racing — what’s the cure?

And we meet

You lose your senses
Butterflies keep fluttering
Met for the first time.

Have we met before?

Felt like we had met
Before the start of the time
Clearly on cloud nine!

Are we there yet?

That one meeting led
to planning for another
So are we dating?

I think we are…

Days pass, time just flies
Things remind you of them now
Songs, cafes, and blue skies.

Firsts

Now you start to care
Think it’s getting real; did we
Just have our first fight?

Reality check

You think as you bid
your honeymoon phase goodbye
Will your “love” now die?

Is it real?

From blush to now bliss
Butterflies to forehead kiss
Seems like it is real?

Dates

Welcome to “we” life
Grocery dates after work
Gives you much delight

Did we know each other?

Guess you always knew
each other, now you know why
they seemed “familiar”?

One

You ache, they feel pain
Yet you are not attached, for
You have now grown one.

Ending the series with a simple poem.

Love is unique
Love is hard to describe
Love can mean waiting
or even just a pillow fight.

Love can be the comfort of friendship
Or the beat of your heart when it skips
Love is forgiving
Love is just giving.

Love is what you want it to be
Love is within you and in
Everything you see
Love is you and
Love is me.

Thank you for reading! Here are a few more poems written by me. I hope you like them! Happy reading ❤
