You are in love when....

Late at night
When your thoughts drift
To that one person
Who brings a smile on your face
Each time you think of them,
And when you know in your heart
That you will do anything
Anything really
To have them in your life
Then you know
That it isn't what feels like love
It is love
The real deal
And if you smiled when you read this
Then you know
You're in love
There is no escape.

Now stop grinning before anyone notices
And thinks you are mad.
Love often is
Madness

  6. A nice write-up Ma'am! Being in love is that state where for me my thoughts literally take the road of creativeness. Everything in the world seems beautiful and my elated self is simply portrayed in writings or music. Love is that strong feeling which one cannot escape without expressing it to the world and by saying, "I am in Love!"
    Looking forward to read verses on such themes Ma'am! World lives on 'love' & I wish you to have a lovely time ahead! :)

  12. love is really a total madness ma'am you never know how important that person is for you unless you lose that person
    I've been missing her since 15 months. I wish I hadn't let her go.
    Last month I heard from a friend that she got engaged.
    Since then I've been missing her like hell. I wish I could go back in past and never let her go off me and tell her how much I love her....

  16. Hi as always beautifuly written... Your writing is like a breathe of fresh air.. Just wanted to ask a question though ! What ifsomeone reproduced something you have written as thier own .. I write poems sometimes ... I Wrote it for someone special ... One of my friend edited few lines of the same poem and presented to someone else as their own ! How would you react to this !
