Wrong place, wrong time, wrong people, right man

Surrounded with unfortunate events, unfortunate people
Those slim waists, slim faces, long hair and long nails
Those long legs, large hands, fluffy hair and beaded bracelets
They don't belong together
last days, best times, red hands and playing fights

Social priorities, diwali parties, arm wrestling and life stories
That's the closure I needed
Searching the crowds, you stand tall, stand out

Walking out of that building with hurt hands and burnt minds
scholar badge, scholar board, Council badges and red coats
brown pants,white shirts, black shoes and red ties

Sprawling crowds, yellow buses, red rickshaws and black cycles
ice cream man, Mother Dairy, white vans and red lights
Saw you walking on the footpath with rolled up sleeves with few friends
I wouldn't wish I would be there
I couldn't wish I could be there

Could you be specific who do you like?
Blinding lights, goodbyes, Friday promises and exam time
White walls, black boards, blue desks and A/C nobs
Sweet memories scattered in my head
Teardrops all over my bed
These are the things I'll never forget
And that's the price I paid

Yes
Yes, I was so in love I wrote that about him.
Well he deserves admiring, doesn't he
I mean the way he KISSED ME TODAY
was just..........
Also yes u know me well
I RAN AWAY
I was so flustered, he was looking me right in the eye.
I had a massive crush on him but now i think I have FALLEN DEEPLY IN LOVE
with him but that still doesn't take away my fear towards relationships.
I am still sacred.

"Can I come in, please"
He spoke peeking at me through the gap between the door and the wall
I hadn't closed it properly
"Yes"

He took a sit in front of me on my bed
"I shouldn't have kissed you...
It was obviously something you didn't want
I am sorry.... i"
He trailed off

But how do I tell him I enjoyed it
"Advit"
"Yes"
"I am not very good at conversations and communication, so can we please do one thing?"
A smile appeared on his face, the same smile I saw earlier today.
"Yes, whatever you want"

"Can we please write letters to each other and convey the things I cannot like this"
I looked at him with such hopeless face scrunched my eyebrows, I know he couldn't say no

And yes he agreed

"And also about Veronica.......no I'll tell you in the letter, now go"
I got up from my bed and started pointing at the door signaling him to ho out, but he had other plans.

"How about I do not go out"
He spoke with a devilish smirk on his face and oh my God, that was so hot
Dammit.

"Huh"
"How about I help you study, see I know you are clearly struggling and I am good at this, ok!"

There he goes again, that old advit is back
He does this
He always does this.
Earlier he said he cannot help but ok

"I am definitely not struggling"
I said with so much confidence
I didn't even know I had it in me

"Ok explain me the timeline of democracy in Pakistan"
"What"
"Yes"

"I------"

Ok fine I was struggling.

"Do you want to see the book of poems I wrote for you?"

"Yes, YES, YES!! absolutely yes!!"
