𖹭
it was the first day of high-school
& I was mesmerized with just one look at you.
I could only see a side of your face,
eyes looking straight ahead, fingers
pushing back soft, parted hair.
there was something about you.
maybe your brilliance which was
evident when you could answer
all the questions the teacher asked.
maybe the way you sat so straight,
your back never bent. the way you
played with your pen, maybe the way
you scratched your nose in debate.
maybe it's your kindness to your allies,
the way you help them with kinematics.
maybe it's you catching me staring many times,
maybe it's I catching you staring me often and quickly looking away when your gaze meets mine.
maybe it's that one time you were looking
at me with a smile, maybe that time,
you weren't shy and winked and passed by,
leaving me all flushed and shy.
maybe it's your pretty face and a single eye contact
which makes all the girls go a blushing mess,
maybe it's the fact that I've seen you
only looking at me, among all the other elegant females. maybe it's the fact that
we probably wouldn't ever meet each other once
we are maturescent,
but you'd always hold a tiny space
in my four chambered cage.
or maybe, it's simply you,
for who I've fallen so hard,
you who is so pretty and suave.
there were so many somethings about you,
but you'd only ever be a part of my teenage heart,
which I would smile to when reminiscing about you,
whilst sitting beside my forever, holding him close to my adult heart.
