A Mermaid in a Bathtub

I love you! I dont doubt that. I love you from the very first time I spoke to you. I love your voice, your serious sense of humour. Your fingers which seem to play on an invisible piano. The way you tell the truth and nothing but the truth, in your own brave way.

You cast a spell on me. I was a free girl, more free than the thoughts which bind you. I picked up little specks of time on my wings. Everyone wanted a part of my golden smile. Everyone wanted to be cast in that beautiful aura of mine.

And we fell in love! Ah! What joy!

For the first time, I stopped. Like the immovable mountain, you stopped me on my path of free will and infinity. Your beautiful valleys and streams seemed like a new world for me. I played and brought life into your charming world. I became the queen of your heart. I found permanent residence, got an address and a land-line number.

I loved being in love! You brought me all the means of entertainment and I was submerged in the splendid, colourful world. Your love was like a beautiful cocoon.

And so, many years rushed by. My large, infinite sky got limited to your embrace. My will was to decide how to entertain your enchanting guests. My smile was for you and no one else. I was in your possession.

I was like a beautiful mermaid in a bathtub!!

Do not fret, my dearest! I dont love you any less. But the sky is my home. I was like a tiny feather on your eyelash which blew away when the spring breeze beckoned it and left no trace.
