WHEN WE MET

the dusk brewed silent joys
destiny played its sweet ploys
that's when we met years ten back:
it was the book fair twenty eighth!

weren't you dressed in pure white?
I dragged along my college smiles
to meet you at the forty first store,
the one beside the granny's folklore!

the store was big and no thing to speak
I would buy you a book to read
who knew they kept books on pregnancy
I was stupid to call you there hastily!

both laughed as we decided out
laughter formed our first start
the date was too 'academic', you say
I can agree not even today!

cherish I, those days we met
split food bills, beneath trees we ate
glass-cased restaurants are boring now
when's the next fair...we shall re-take vows!
