Caught your eye one day,
Saw you look back at me,
Turned our gaze away,
Thinking if its meant to be.

We’d look across the room,
Seeing each other crave,
A ‘hello’ among lilies bloom,
Sparking an electric brain wave.

You’d walk me around,
Trying to hold my hand,
one day saw spell bound,
Love caught us unplanned.

We excelled as friends now,
This phase bound us close,
Everything was a ‘wow’,
Our mind is where the heart goes.

High school and college rolled by,
Love birds stayed entangled,
A chord starstruck awry,
Distorted our strings dismantled.

At the sight of us it was gone,
Responsibility accounted our share,
Standing straight with a bygone,
Life caught us ensnare.

Down the roads we crossed path,
Shivers manoeuvred the spine,
It’s been years with the math,
As we look through the drink n dine.

Caught your eye again someday,
Saw you look back at me,
Turned our gaze away,
‘let’s start over’ cuz its meant to be.
