Pouring Out My Heart This Valentine's Day....

I remember the day I was introduced to you

When I was awed  by your radiance and promise
And that was my first taste of those three letters.

I remember when you engulfed me in your care

To give me the support to weather any storm
And I was intrigued by those three letters.

You were my trustworthy partner in my quest for a job 

And as you asked me to save some money for the rainy day

My intrigue turned to respect for those three letters.

You made sure I paid my dues on time 

To keep the demons from engulfing my little paradise
And you smiled and just reminded me about those three letters.

You were with me when we bought our first car 

A long relationship with you was to be born
And so inescapable were those three letters.

You make sure my house is bright and cosy 

And the food is always warm.
How then can I not do my part for those three letters ?

When I am down , I look at you

And I don't feel so down anymore
For we both are in the same boat, trying to preserve those three letters. 

When you smile, I can't help but smile

When you cry, I can't help but cry
But, even through my tears, I never lose sight of those three letters.

You can take on so much struggle
That mine seems like a drop in an ocean
What gives me strength are those three letters.

As you take on more debt to ensure my prosperity
You don't let it seep through your shield

All you ask me is never to undermine those three letters.

I depend on you for your unwavering support 

And I know that you do too 

For the thing that binds us are those three letters.

This Valentine's Day,

My wallet heart is all yours ... oh dear US Economy Priya  

And this is my contribution to these three letters... GDP I L U.
