happy valentine's day

Happy Valentine ’s Day

My stars say I’ll meet my love today

So I leave from home with an anxious heart

Hoping to meet him, but not miles apart.

At the cafe I see you sitting with

A book in hand taking a coffee sip

I sit at a table from where I can see you

Engrossed in the book called “P.S. I Love You”

We are the only loners in the cafe teeming with couples

The waiter comes for the order and I say, “Frappe with chocolate scoops double.”

Then I look in the mirror to adjust my hair

And just then you see me and give a friendly stare

I give you an awkward smile

And curse myself after that for a while

We get our orders at the same time

You start sipping yours while I stare at mine

I am lost in my own world when I hear a “Hi”

And I’m pleasantly surprised

But try my best to hide.

I offer you to join me,

Glad that you weren’t waiting for some other she!

We start talking and then there’s no end

I talk frantically as my excitement has no bend.

I realise you are 3 years elder to me

But that doesn’t deter me from telling you all about me.

After some time, we realise,

We have missed out on something

And wish each other “Happy Valentine’s Day”

When the waiter brings the bill.

I look at him scornfully

But you don’t notice that, thankfully!

You start moving, leaving your book behind

I fetch it for you and a note falls from inside

I pick it up and read the “red heart” note

It says, “Happy Valentine’s Day,

I hope you read this today

I’ve been waiting for this moment

For, like more than, 6 months

To be with you, t talk with you

To see you smile at least once.”

I look up at your anxious eyes

Hoping to hear something,

Before the moment dies

We stare at each other

For I don’t know how long

And I realise, eyes can express

More than words of any song.

We walk along filled with joy

You buy me a pink rose and

Cupid whispers’ “Cute boy!”

I thank my stars for being so kind

We lost our hearts to each other

And are at loss of thoughts from the mind

After walking for some time,

We sit on a bench

I rest on your shoulder

Hoping the day never ends

On facebook, yesterday, I wrote, “Oops! No valentine!”

And today I’ll write, “Finally I found the one who’ll always be mine..........”
