Strangers In Love

Never once had the thought of love crossed my mind.

All I think of was my future success and all the hard work that was worth more.

It is crazy, how the one thing that you could care less of,

suddenly appears before you,

LOVE.

Walking in the empty halls of school,

catching the slight smell of wood and mint,

rather enticing.

My body working on his own accord,

searching the sweet scent that

had suddenly been engraved in my mind.

At the end of the many hallways, I had

travelled, I could finally find the source.

A man so beautiful almost unreal

stood among his friends.

A smile so bright, energy radiating

from his soul.

I’m standing in awe of the glory

that was he.

Many scenarios running through

my mind, endless possibilities.

Just him and I, all happy and in love,

we would ‘relationship goals.’

I would finally understand what

it feels like to be in love.

Reality hit that I would probably

never stand the chance of even

getting the attention of such a man.

Going home that day, made me

realise for the first time in my life,

I actually thought about love.

What is love, what is infatuation?

Will I ever find my soulmate,

was he my soulmate?

Day after day, week after week,

he crossed my mind. Day after day,

I saw him in the halls, sometimes

I thought he would sneak secret glances

at me.

Made me smile thinking that felt

the same way I felt; high in the clouds.

Months passed and I slowly started

to let go of the fantasy that surrounded

him and I. Till one special day,

he approached me. I was silent and stunned,

he did most of the talking.

I tried to smile and give a few inputs

here and there.

Everyday he made it his mission

to at least talk to me, it was mostly

fluff conversation. I knew he wanted

to say more but he would hold back.
