Her
Days went by and months flew past,
Our friendship throughout did completely last,
Talks over coffee, conversations in the park,
Running away from the wild dog's barks,

My feelings for him were hidden deep inside me.
Like the sunken ships in the deep blue sea,
Afraid of the consequences of opening my heart,
Scared that the truth would pull us apart,

Little glances, I passed his way,
Unknown to me, he too was shying away,
Running through his mind too were the same kind of thoughts,
He too was scared of breaking my heart.

It was one fine day when I built up the courage,
Gone was the fear I carried as a luggage,
I walked up to his leaning figure by the tree,
Held out a rose, got down on my knee,

He looked up suddenly and saw my face,
His expression I could not place,
It was a mixture of shock and bewilderment,
I didn't know if there was contentment,

Then he slowly gave a broad bright smile,
Bent down, brought his hands to my shoulders on either side,
Caressed my cheek and looked into my eyes,
Confirmed that yes, I could call him mine,

No words were spoken, only emotions exchanged,
Charged with electricity I felt insane,
I put my arms around him and pulled him close,
Made sure, I didn't crush the pretty pink rose,

I felt him put his arms around my waist,
I was so glad that he did reciprocate
I was the happiest as I could ever be,
For the boy I loved was there with me.
