Moon Light

Since I came to college,

I had been noticing this girl around,

She always seemed to be troubled,

I just thought, something would be wrong.

Then, after a long time, 

One day I saw her smiling,

She had a blink in her eye,

Was enjoying the sport she was playing.

I didn't know her,

Never spoke to her,

But for some reason,

Happiness filled my heart.

I started observing her more,

Changed my route from the hostel,

I dined at the times I expected her to,

She must have noticed me, but I couldn't tell.

I came to know her department,

Checked her details on the net,

One fine day went and spoke to her,

So resolute, how and why do I get?

"What's this about?",

"Just wanna be friends."

"I'm in a hurry,

Let's meet some day else."

"How will we meet?", she asked,

I said, "I'll definitely cross you in campus."

It took some time, but I did,

It was coincidental, I didn't make it happen.

We introduced each other,

Mind you, very formally,

I don't know, can't explain why,

I couldn't speak spontaneously.

I had breakfast with her the other day,

It was just another formal talk,

I sent her a friend request,

Thought it would be cakewalk.

She didn't appreciate of it, however,

Thank God she didn't keep me in the dark,

All I got was an email,

"I am sorry, but this ain't gonna work".
