Love Bug - Aishah Kazman

Dear you,

Yup, you over there.
I am mesmerized by the way your aqua blue eyes twinkle at me
The way your lashes flutters as your face break into a smile
The way you look at me and how butterflies magically appear in my tummy
Oh you yes you, I am falling for you  - hard
The moment you said ‘ excuse me ‘ before squeezing out from the packed rush hour train

Dear you,

Yes you with the grey slacks and white polo
For the 5 minutes I stood behind you
I could not feel the weight of my grocery basket nor did I feel tired of waiting in line
Because the sight of your back and your broad shoulder is something I could stare all day
The way you sneaked a glance to me and flashed that cute dimple on your cheek
Oh dear, I almost fall face first right there in the checkout counter in Tesco

Dear you,

Yes you the one with red cap on behind the counter
I know the moment I stood in line for my weekly grease fix
You would be someone significant to my life
The way you greet me with that fancy smile and twinkle in your eyes
Oh boy, can I just place an order for you instead of the fillet o fish?

Dear you,

Yeah I’m talking about you Z
When you texted me that night as I was deeply fixed to Love and other drugs
I almost imagine how my life would be if I were to be Anne Hathaway and you will as successful as Jake Gyllenhall
Your ‘ hey, lunch tomorrow? ‘ gave me trembles in my finger as I try to figure out what should I reply you

Dear you,

Yes you sir, the one who took my heart away five years ago
When you said your first hey to me that one evening
And how we stick close to one another for the next five years
The way you look into my eyes and wipe my tears when I cry
The way you agree on bringing me everywhere and give me roses every now and then
Are just some of why I fall for you – losing myself in between

Dear you,

Yes you,
Don’t be scared when your cheek burns because that guy with the aqua blue eyes said ‘excuse me’ at the train station
Don’t be sacred when your tummy did a back flip when the guy with a cute dimple smiled at you in the check-out counter
Don’t be scared when your flesh burns when the cute waiter at McDonalds accidently brush your fingers while handling you your Fillet o Fish
Don’t be scared when your fingers tremble when the new guy from work texted you ‘ have lunch with me tomorrow? ‘
Don’t be scared when the guy you have went out with twice asked it you would like to go serious with him
And don’t be scared when your mind says ‘ uh oh, we are falling in love! ‘

Dear you,

Stop the panic attack now.
Because falling in love is perfectly fine
Because feeling the blush in your cheeks are part of your body natural process
Because that tummy backflip and the tremble in your fingers
Are all saying that you are just another human being
Who had just got bitten by the love bug.
