MY FIRST LOVE LETTER
Reluctance, hesitancy, shyness, anxiety, all at once came pouring in;
My head, heart n hands just didn't coordinate; ohh, filled with papers was my dustbin
Disturbed I was; perhaps, reading it would disturb her; my beloved queen
This I could never think of; imagining her shedding tears, oh, that felt like a sin!
My heart overflowing with love n emotions was,
Choked I felt, n was at a loss of words.
Then heard I, a voice musical n sweet as
watched I, a cute singing bird.
Overwhelming feelings then poured out; n expressed them I did, in words unheard
Slid that letter awkwardly in her hands I did; my first love letter, quietly, without a single word.
Ahhh ! as she took it, I saw a glint in her eyes; my heart skipped a beat; super excited I was indeed!
Held my breath
I did, hoping against hope, she will, this first love letter read.
Crossing my fingers I did; hoping with all my heart, to her acceptance my letter would lead
From her, in her glance, words or deed, an assurance I desperately did need.
