Do you whisper 'I love you' the way you used to?
Does she respond with 'I love you two, three, four'?
Do you run your fingers through her hair?
Do you hold her hand while crossing the road?
Do you remember her favourite pizza toppings?
Do you watch the moon with her?
Does she write poetry just for you?
Do you love her eyebrows the way you used to love mine?
Does she like the colour black just because you love it?
Does she eat spicy food along with pickle just because you like to?
Did you tell her you love her smile?
You definitely must have. Because you told me several times a day.
Do you call her at 2:10 am just wanting to hear her voice?
Does she watch those boring zombie movies because you want to?
Do you still smell your hanky before pocketing it?
Does she spray it with her perfume just because you said you love the smell of it?
Do you wink at her?
You always laughed how I couldn't wink without blinking the other eye.
Does she wink back perfectly?
Does she remind you of me?
Sometimes?
Any time?
Maybe once daily?
Weekly?
Monthly?
Yearly?

Because I did, and some still do.
I did reply your 'I love you' more than 4 even if I didn't tell.
I did try to love navy blue because that's the colour of most of your stuffs.
I did tail my hair and wore glasses the way you like me the most.
I did remember your favorite food and how spicy you like it to be.
I did try to like Chelsea so that I could talk with you about your favourite sport.
Because I did and still do watch How I Met Your Mother because that's your favourite TV show.
Nabil, I don't know how love should be or feel. But if hearing you getting close to her breaks me a little is how it should....Then I don't know how to stop loving you, even after all this time.
I hope you the very best of life and love, always.
