My first love
First day of school, mom woke me at dawn,
Still sleepy and grumpy, I stifled a yawn,
She dressed me real fast as if the house was on fire,
I marveled again if moms ever tire.
My dad looked at me, gave me a smile,
I felt like a prisoner walking his last mile.
Slouching to the bus stop hand in hand with mother,
We waited at the bus stop for the crowd to gather,
All looked merry I sincerely wondered why,
Perhaps it was a temporary ecstasy before the final goodbye,
The bus came slowly, my eyes brimmed with tears,
Mother kissed me all the best and told me to cheer.
All the way to school I sobbed quietly,
The older ones there looked at me benignly,
After the prayer I walked to my class,
Tears still in my eyes I looked at last,
At the person sitting next to me….. there she was,
The girl who smiled supportingly at me while I was aghast,
To this day I remember the day I came out of my cove,
Began life's journey as well as met my first love...
Years passed slowly we grew up together,
The world paced real fast, we never used to bother,
From the kid-games during recesses to the daily recitations,
I smiled with her smile feeling those little titillations,
Day by day going to school became easier,
Coz her face made me happy and her eyes the merrier.
A little grown up now I used to hang out with the boys,
She played those little games which previously gave me great joys,
I always looked up and listened whenever she talked,
She was smart and funny, and she never mocked,
Anyone whether dumb or a bit too wise,
I grew up, she grew up like an angel in my eyes.
Everyday I used to go early to school to try,
To talk to her before prayer or atleast say hi,
She was so kind and caring I felt so dumbstruck,
We became friends over time, I sincerely thanked my luck.
We talked in school grew to know each other better,
Looking at her inspired me to become a go-getter.
I never knew how she felt, never did I try,
Maybe it was cowardice or because I am shy,
But I was happy to be around her, happy to see,
How she lived her life with beauty grace and dignity,
She lived one day at once took life as it comes,
She taught me one chooses what one becomes...
She was so sweet and yet so humble and nice,
An argument around, she used to break the ice,
Over the years we became great friends...
Merry makers in joy and healers in pain,
Years continued rolling, exams came and went away,
We grew up together, together to the day....
When at school she told me that her dad got transferred,
Another state another school was all she answered,
She looked real sad, went to say goodbye to others,
I was devastated, it was hard to control my tears,
I wished her all the best, said my goodbye,
Ran home after school to silently cry...
I often wondered later on at how we two...
Met with tears in my eyes and parted with it too,
She took a piece of my heart, I was happy to give away,
Time with her was bliss, each and every day,
Never shall I forget the time with her ever,
May god grant all her wishes and keep her happy forever...
Life goes on, there are and will be many battles involved,
To fight and win…..but I’ll never forget the first girl I loved.
