The First Love

You have changed with time,
I am still the same as I was in my prime,

It is ages you took me out of my abode,
I forgot the look into your shining black eyes,
The reflection of my stature sharp and shrill,
When you speak holding me near,
I hear your soft voice flying through my ears,

There was a time when you hold me in your arms tenderly,
You smoothly touch my skin which ripples my whole body warmly,
Sometimes you kiss me with your lips,
Sometimes you hold me tight in your bosom,
I can hear your heart beat,
I can smell your secret scent,
I can feel the touch of your skin inside me,

I don't know what happened,
You refrain from coming near my home,
I can see you walk pass my dome,
I wait and peep from the glass window,
If you only come and hold me as you did before,

I know you found a guy smarter than me,
He is handsome and witty,
He can give immediate answers to all your queries,
He knows all the mysteries of the universe,
He fascinates you with his good looks,

But do not forget I was the first to embrace you,
I was the one, who sprouted the first love in you,
I was the one, who helped in building your thoughts,
I was the one, who germinated the wisdom in you,

I may be fat and out of shape now,
My clothes may be old timeworn,
I may not be adorable in this age of looks,
I know it is painful to state that I am a "PAPER BOOK",
I hate people carrying slick computers, tabs or iphones,

You forgot paper books are something special,
Keep us near you instead of putting us in shelf,
Bring us home we love to be with you,
It will make you better human and much wiser without any side effect,
Save trees are fine, you can make papers from recycled waste,
What about electronic pollution which will ever rest?
Encourage your young generation the habit of reading,
Spread the understanding that Books are prize for whole life,

YOU HAVE CHANGED WITH TIME,
I AM STILL THE SAME AS I WAS IN MY PRIME
