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.
