Moment in Love

I dreamt about this day,

A thousand times in my head,

Since a week we planned this meeting,

My love is coming to see me!

We would meet,

And then would talk,

Talk and talk and talk,

Until we can breathe.

I was excited,

Not because he was my first love,

But he was my fresh love,

New hopes are planted inside me!

On the day of meeting him,

What they called as “First Date”,

A mix of excitement & nervousness floated in me,

Not because he was my first love!

I stared and stared,

Into my cupboard mirror,

A black balloon top with small green leaves,

And a simple black jeans will do!

He loved “Black” he told me,

I also felt confident in black,

Because it would help us look thin,

I had read somewhere!

I met him finally,

He was smiling,

Those white teethes,

And the warm smile!

As I always wished,

How a boyfriend should be,

He held my hands,

While crossing road.

He wore a white shirt with blue lines,

With a blue jeans,

He was handsome with the kindest smile,

I’ve ever seen in a man!

He held my hand while talking,

He shared my hopes and dreams,

We had our first awkward hug,

A moment in love to cherish forever.

This first date happened,

After two months of getting into a relationship,

A much awaited meeting,

The last time we met was in fourth grade.

Yes! He was my classmate,

A boy from my childhood,

Who held my hands on stage!

During our fashion show.

Little did we knew,

We were the chosen one,

To hold hands,

Forever!

We both are spexcy,

People with spectacles but still sexy,

We say.

The spectaculars!
