Pleasantries...

So many afternoons have gone

So many days I was left alone.

Little did I realize it until now,

Things aren’t the same somehow.

My initial wish was to avoid him completely

But the desire to see him once again arose so urgently

That there was no other way left out

For me to consider over it or about.

My Greek God, majestic on his throne

Looked so perfect yet so forlorn.

His perfect smile and his greeting of a simple Hi!

I wished that very moment I could have died.

But I felt at ease around him this moment,

At times mesmerized by his sweet innocence.

Oh! Now I remember how I had smiled and blushed

Every time he looked my way or passed by me in a rush.

I felt like being that stupid once again

But somehow I waited for my confidence to regain.

And surprisingly we shared a joke or two

And the sarcasm couldn’t hide his self so true.

Alas! I turned towards the prettiest damsel in town

Surprised and pleasantly shocked, she looked around.

Her cold nature appeared so cool today

I just couldn’t picture her any other way

She looked a little pale and somehow so young

Just a sweet thing and pretensions were none.

We had a great chat and she seemed so concerned

Lastly all she did was invite me for her concert.

A pleasant day it was for me

To be back in the once magical land

And to be amongst those who had cared

And today somehow I bother to share

The most expensive feelings I have

For those who would no longer be there.
