Why I love you?

If I love you,
would I then feel
that tingling in my skin,
the flutter in my heart?
If I love you,
would I then view
the world through tinted lenses;
while we live in stolen glances?
If I love you
would I make your world better?
Would you be happier?
Would you want to be together?
If I love you
I think more than you
I would do it for me.
Yes, I would love you for me.

About Sonal Singh

An author, storyteller, and full-time observer of life’s glorious absurdities. I write humour-laced stories where chaos wears fluffy fur, emotions arrive uninvited, and middle-class Indian households become ecosystems of drama, love, and unsolicited advice. Armed with sarcasm, caffeine, and alarming emotional attachment to stray creatures, I believe compassion is less of a virtue and more of a lifestyle disorder. One that I embrace. When I’m not writing, I’m usually busy running a full-time HR consultancy business, rescuing animals, or trying to maintain dignity while being emotionally manipulated by my pets. Through my literary work, I try to blend humour with heart, celebrating the messy coexistence of humans and non-humans in modern urban India.
