The first time...

When you first walked me home 

I closed my eyes and let go

My arms were eager to hold you

Desperate to feel the warmth

That melted and moulded my heart

I put my ear on your chest

Felt beats of your heart resonate

In the room uninhabited 

The house was eerily silent

Affirming the absence of its inmates

You held me close for the first time

And I wanted the moment to freeze 

Those soft lips gently touched mine
Don't know how to describe how I felt
Perhaps a mix of anxiety and daze

Assuming to have read my thoughts

You pulled back, looked into my eyes 
Comfortingly kissed my forehead

Gifting my soul unusual inner peace 

Don't know when I began to drift away

Gliding through feelings unknown

When our hands finally left each other

And I was walking out the empty place

Uncertain of our togetherness in future

I turned around to give a bleak smile

You did not smile back or say a word

And quietly just walked inward

I knew not that you were doubtless

That I would be with you till the end

Sapna..
