-: Love: Unfolding in Layers :-

It was another day waiting at the bus stop,

People came by and buses stopped;

But she remained still, waiting for her heartthrob,

Amid the sounds of silence; her thoughts clogged!

∗∗∗

It’s been a while since they saw each other,

She was scared for her unknown relation to wither;

Still capsized in hope, she waited then and there,

Until he came flashing his personifying glare!

∗∗∗

Seeing him coming, she smiled in ecstasy,

It was like a dream turning into reality;

Until that boy stopped at a distance,

Only to see her in a strange reluctance!

∗∗∗

What she saw, she couldn’t believe,

Failed to find a reason to perceive;

That boy hugged a girl in a blue tee,

And she thought, they are the lovers’ wannabe!

∗∗∗

She cursed herself for not conveying her feelings,

And thought if her incisions had any healing;

But she stood composed and smiled in mourning,

And took the next bus, not knowing where it’s going!

∗∗∗

Locked herself in room for days in and days out,

Days after, saw that boy from the window of her house;

As if his glance served as bait and tied her to hook,

Their eyes met, reading each other like a book!

∗∗∗

Many questions were asked through that staring glance,

Boy was concerned on her absence from the bus stand;

Girl answered that her life had lost direction, unlike she sought,

Boy said; that girl was just a friend and not what she thought!

∗∗∗

She cried with tear in an eye and smiled with another,

Thought how foolish she was to unnecessarily bother;

Indeed this was the day that was unfolding in layers,

Reality was stepping out from the dreams, right here!

∗∗∗

Another day was waiting for a brand new start,

As she ran towards him holding her heart;

Came close to him and kissed with compassion,

He returned the favor as they locked in passion!!
