My Real Valentine

He: I saw you coming dear. I have few questions for you. Actually they are not questions, but few doubts…. that came in from somewhere while waiting for you. Will you be interested in hearing those?

She: Wait, wait- hang on a minute…. why did you not phone me this morning? Not even an SMS. I expected you online too. But you didn’t turn up- why? You are not really what I think of you……
Look here, I love you so much. Honestly I can’t live with out your love. Don’t do this to me.

He: Hmm….
Let me ask you something.
Why? Why do you like me? Why do you love me so much?

She : Truly-I don’t know. I like your blue eyes, attractive smile, smooth silvery forehead, those rocky shoulders and that sharp like your thoughts and your steel body….
I just love you- That’s it

He : hmm…
But what you have described are not mine alone, though we think of it all as ours.
I have a friend who too has the same features as me- perhaps better than me in all senses. So would you love him too?

She: Oh! That stupid Iago!
He cant sing like you
Those lovely songs you sang for me…
Wow- mind blowing! Really wonderful

He: God- oh god! You are completely wrong
He sings much better than me. My songs are rated much below him.
In fact it is he who inspired me to sing.

She: Ok- But he can’t create stories and poems like you.
My nights always wait for the light of your poems and heartfelt stories...
They are so nice

He: oh no! You are wrong again.
You know it is my dream to write like him. My writings are rubbish compared to his.
I am sure his writings will become a part of world literature.
Now tell me why do you love me?

She: Alright- But he can’t share any philosophical thoughts like you.
Whatever you might say- I love you!

He: Don’t be silly. What did you say? Me----a philosopher!
No no …. I know very well that I am more materialistic.
On the other hand, he is more spiritual and aesthetic

She: Stop it.
Why you are praising him so much?
Do you dislike me so much?

He: No, Not at all dear. It is your ignorance that makes you think that I am greater singer, writer and philosopher. Actually his world is really deep and different

She: Could be. But listen- he can’t smile like you and can’t raise doubts or questions like you do. I have understood him as an introvert while you are open, friendly and bubbling with enthusiasm.

He: Come on …….., I shall take you to him and you find him more superior to me in many more ways than one.
No arguments and no competitions here
Come let us go and see him

She: Ok …. I need to meet him. Perhaps, I want to know him from near.
Shall we move on then?

Well really I am in a hurry to meet him
It’s all your fault!

After they meet

She: Yes ... And as you said he is great. He is more talented than you in abundance.
But I only measured him using you as the measuring scale.
Yes dear- you are my identifying and actualising tool, i.e. a scale too.

He: My dearest ! I love you more now.
Truly you have seen my inner spirit and I see that reflected in your eyes.
Mmmm ! I love you. Very very much.
But, please pardon me- just for annoying you with one more question
Who would have been your hero if we had not met?
How have you had spent all these times?

She: I was searching and waiting at horizon, no.. no I was wandering for you dear.
You are my real valentine- my hero and no more questions please...

They shares a sweet kiss
