Three Magical words

They had been in the same college,
both were simple and didn't like to be privileged.
Fought for assignments like enemies,
but next moment came together as besties.
One was totally focused on goals,
other had been cool and never liked keeping herself under controls.
He was a bit nerdy,
she was sturdy.
Friendship had completed just a year,
"Do I like her?" he feared.
Confused minds trying the way out,
she didn't know the reason of his ignorance,anger and shout.
He tried all ways of being away,
but she was their with him all the way.
He confirmed it to love,
and not attraction as for now.
It was time to tell her,
still he was afraid of her reaction.
Talking all the way they had reached the station,
he couldn't ask but just kissed her & waited for her action.
She looked at him for a moment,
didn't react much, tried to be calm & innocent.
He was worried for her answer,
it was time to get love or even loose the friendship forever.
He called her to confirm if she was fine,
her three magical words had changed his lifeline.
Today also they talk to each other,
looking towards a together and better future.
