I went on a first date today,
Almost didn't until I actually did,
My heart beating to jump out of my chest,
A feeling I had long back forbid.
I put on a dress,
But thinking I overdid, I quickly change
Put on some liner, a little lip tint,
Hoping, to him I won't look strange.
I don't know what came over me,
But I actually went,
Picked a chocolate for him on the way,
My own way of a small present.
I wait, and I wait,
Waited enough to think I got stood,
I didn't, and I felt like-
This person standing here was deeply misunderstood.
And then he passed a smile,
I felt my heart melt as if the smile was awaited,
I flashed one back, telling my heart to slow down,
Stopping myself from jumping like a kid.
He looked charming, to say the least,
And his voice felt so, calming,
Unlike the nature he'd have to put up with today,
I thought if I should give him that warning.
And then we went for that movie,
Though that's the last thing I saw,
I remember you telling me it's a good one,
As if I could look away from a face I wish I could draw.
Yet, I tried to draw my eyes away,
A while later though, did my heart drop,
My cheeks burning, I melt under the kiss,
In the moment, everyone around us, everything seemed to stop.
The day was everything,
I wish I could say more,
But it was good enough 'cause I went on a second date today,
This one seemed lovelier than before.
He picked me up from a bike,
We roamed, this time I felt careless and free,
I awkwardly tried putting my hands around his waist,
Until he himself did that for me.
We shared a laugh, almost fell,
Though I hope I didn't, romantically,
Later we stopped to have a chat,
Laughing with him felt homely.
He talked about his life,
And honestly, I'd pay to listen more,
With him I could laugh so freely,
As if we'd known each other from before.
We went to grab a bite later,
Things happened, though now I won't say,
I can't wait to meet him again,
Spend yet another short day.
The moments live in my head rent-free,
Moments without any sorrow,
And the kisses felt like peace,
So I'm going on a third date tomorrow.
