Moving the strands of hair on her face, black curls trying to caress;
The girl at the airport with bottle green attire, myself fully impressed;
Mesmerising kohl studded eyes like dew drops on leaves in frozen lake;
My snookum lady immersed in the sci-fi novel, B Sterling was the author;
So I skimmed a business magazine, which made no sense thereafter;
Within a few minutes, heart in my mouth made a prompt decision;
Prologue with the girl was the only motive of my joyful life’s mission.
Collided her in food court, the girl buying the McDonalds happy meal;
Here I was talking on the phone discussing my new business deal;
French fries bounced apart, coke spilled on me, she was annoyed;
Sorry was the sweet voice heard by my nascent ears, filled my heart’s void.
Bundles of tissues was making their way, she wiped my jacket and shirt;
As a gentleman offered her my ice-cream, manners and courtesy was first;
In this moment of time, lost my cellphone following give and take bargain;
Was flustered for a split second, searching helter skelter again and again.
Sensing the panic, my senorita offered her cellphone to give a miss call;
The phone started ringing; it was bouncing in my denim pocket wall;
Smirk on my face revealed, the ploy was understood by the urban fairy;
I wanted her cell number which was flashing in bold on my blackberry.
She was smiling at the question I asked which was kind of dicey;
Did the sun just come out or did you just smile at me…miss spicy;
She laughed at my jokes, listening to her stories… running was the time;
Wished the spaces between your fingers are meant to be filled with mine.
With the announcement; along the airport crystal maze we were on our way,
Gorgeous boarded her Emirates flight; my Air India there was a delay;
Landed my native soil, reached my pocket to give a call and SMS to send;
Lost my cellphone for real this time…. My shortest love story came to an end.
