I Love You, Too Poem by Abdul Wahab

At the distance precisely I perceived
some ripples in the still wind breaking
the clogs of the waves, crawling towards
me the little chain of the words ‘ I love you ‘
which risen up from the below part of her belly
and clearly asked me ‘why did you not accept
the softest words the most heart felt feeling
of the world? ' I replied with a smile ‘ please
stop shaking and return to tell that I had
accepted her before you reached here ‘
