Bitter Sweet Memories

Do you love me? She asked.
Yes, he said, I love you as much as the rainbow.
Why the rainbow, she asked, with her brows raised?
"It's because our love is as lovely as a rainbow," he replied, smiling.
"How?" she asked, laughing.
He was enjoying this and continued smiling.
He replied - it's because our love is as colourful and bright as a rainbow.
It's so beautiful that it's on display for all to see.
Caught in between a joyful laugh she asked again - how much do you love me?
I love you as far as the other end of the rainbow ends, he said still with a smile on his face.
