You asked me what colour I'm wearing and I was right,
you followed me to the cafe I'm having dinner with my family tonight.
My mom offered you a burger and asked you to take a seat,
you also wore black and looks deadly tempting in it.
You no thanked her and looked into my gradient eyes.
Then you shook hands with my uncle and it seemed so nice.
You introduced yourself to him as my boyfriend,
but I wasn't surely ready for my heart to lend.
You were my old neighbour and a closer neighbour now,
things between us got so clumsy but don't know how.
First time we met by a swimming pool at a new year's eve night party,
and I get shy every time you are being flirty.
Its like we are childhood sweetheart,
A 21 question game- thats how it all start.
If I stop you now would you even?
Or did that be injustice after all the hopes I've given?
when I was in grade 6,my sister talked about you,a dark boy from her class,
and I still try my best to behave with you as a decent lass!
We block and unblock,add and remove each other a dozen times,
at this point,I don't even think if it rhymes!

PoetryI literally remember those days when I had this sort of conversation with my sister over the phone: "guess what?" "lemme guess another new poem!".🥀 and then we scream 'Yay' in our own world of happiness. I re-read some of my favourites among these...
