He gazed at her, and spilled his. “Ouch”, she muttered.

Ten years back
Was love at first sight
I saw your smile
And all seemed right
You were the first love
You will be the last
Sharing the house with you
Makes time move fast
What’s in my heart
You wont know in this life
And I’ll be quiet…Coz,
you are my brother’s wife
