Summer love story

It was a summer midnight,
I remember everything like it happened yesterday.
I was waiting for my metro,
He was reading a book,
wearing a black suit,
And had the same tie which I liked in the summer sale.
I just kept looking at it,
No!I was literally staring,
He walked up to me,
“Everything’s fine?”.
“Oh yeah!”, I replied.

Its been years since I met him,
And i found him interesting.
Something I felt,
Like I know him for long,
Something like,
I wanted to share everything with him,
under the serene moon;
Everything with him is real,
Everything with him is happiness.
As days kept flying,
I realised he's the one,
He meant everything.
I really didn’t know whether he felt the same with me then,
I was like a gawdelpus; helpless, no guts to ask.
I was scared,
What if it's a no?
I asked myself.
That answer freaked me, badly.
I haven’t had this kind of feeling with anyone.
Love touches one at an unexpected time,
And yes, that was my time.

On a hot summer Sunday evening,
We were walking along the beach,
And I knew it was my last chance,
and the best time to tell him.
I was breathing heavy,
I had more than thousand thoughts running in my mind,
I felt sick,
I felt scared,
I felt I don’t know what.
I gathered courage and looked into his eyes,
And the rest was magic.
He looked at me,
Touched my face,
and kissed me as the sun set;
slow and patient as the waves washed our legs.
And for a few minutes I thought it's a dream.
He knew I was in love,
He knew I was scared to tell him,
He knew what I was thinking,
He knew everything.
And I realised I sent him a message few weeks back,
Saying I love him instead of telling my friend.
That mistake,
Turned that evening to be the best in my life.
Rome wasn’t built in a day,
And my love for him builds strong everyday.
Like the beads of amethyst,
I found my paradise in him.
And I still relish the summer kisses we shared.

The day of nightmares..

Monsoon!

The monsoon started a few days back.
And on a fine day,
It starts to  rain,
Black and blue.
Everyone ran to find a shelter,
And there I saw you.
You were next to me at a bus stop.
Thunder and lightning strike made me shudder,
But, your presence made me tremble,
hard,
In joy and thrill.
I see you in class,
But today I felt something different.
You looked beautiful,
A blue Salwar Kameez,
Matching Dangling earrings,
A short heel that made you look taller,
And golden bangles,
Oh! I still remember these!
I still remember....
What happened next?
I know you,
You know me,
We have spoken a few times,
Smiled at each other as we passed each other,
But love ?
That was a different concept.
All these kept running in mind,
And at that moment,
You glanced at me,
I looked at you,
And after the rain,
You left with a smile.
I was stood there remembering everything,
Everything that happened in the few minutes.
I still can't get over that smile.
I search for you
In my mind and heart,
And stand still,
Smiling until the rain poured all over again.

She too had a story....

It was raining heavily outside,
I just came back from a tiring day,
With So many thoughts occupied throughout.
Life changes every minute, they said;
And yes mine changed completely too.
I was a girl,
Silent yet loud in things I do;
I was a girl,
Too quiet to talk in front of people I know;
I was a girl,
Who never participated in any kind of discussions;
I was a girl,
Who was all by herself;
I was a girl,
Who felt all alone in the whole world.
Things started changing,
When I met him.
This silent girl fell in love with a guy.
I couldn’t believe it myself.
A girl who was too shy to talk,
Always wanted to talk to him and listen to him.
I was surprised with my change myself.
Is this a good change or a bad one?
I realized I am in love.
Love with this person,
Whom I know from far for years.
My class mate,
My only friend he was during my school days,
And suddenly I missed his presence.
I missed his talk,
I missed everything of him.
Yes! I am shy and don’t talk at all,
But this guy made me realize who I am.
And made me realize,
All these days I was trapped within my own thoughts.
Maybe that’s when I realized,
I am in love,
In love with him.
How lucky am i?
How happy am I now?
I can’t describe.
This silent girl too had a love story,
I wrote in my diary,
While sipping coffee from the mug he gifted.
