The day when you were standing in front of me
And when I just because of sheer excitement
Of being close to you and having faced you
When suddenly I felt that some spirit has possessed me
And when I felt you were much taller than me
And the colors of you ‘pairahan’
Those red lips and white cheeks
The sparkling teeth
My submission of talking to you
That I was in love with you
Not love
But that I liked you
Though I loved you
Because by that time
I did not know that you will honor the word
May be I was not generous enough
I should have gone with the flow
The flow of your beauty
And your sparkling shining teeth
That expression of amazement
At my confession
The confession of love
And likeness
To me
You were like an angel
To a lover
Many lovers would have felt
The same way
As I did
While talking to you
And then
When you were no more
I was left with my imagination
And the memories
Of your sweet presence
