Friends? No, It’s Something More Poem by Angelina Pandian

I’ve been hearing of you a lot
Your brains, your looks and your charisma
Even before I could get to see you
Then we met, I thought nothing then
As the day passed into evening
The distance between also passed away
I was in awe of you, your clear and grasping mind
I did not want to cross the line
Or risk lose of such a friend
But, slowly softly silently
You smiled with your eyes
Your eyes they played Tag with mine
You spoke but, did not speak
You looked but, did not look
You touched but, did not touch
Your presence was electifying
I was becoming posessed, obsessed
It happened when you started talking
I thought I heard something between the lines
Aside and soft for my ears alone
Your eyes they kissed my face
Your voice caressed my ears
Your flattery made me blush
Like a school kid longing to be loved
I was not annoyed rather I enjoyed
And was flattered still all the more
That you inclined to talk to me
And when you said beauty is from within
Leave your complexes behind – Happiness
Surrounded me like a cotswool blanket
Soft, warm and comforting – I lost
My inhibitions, my always guarded respect
With the sea side wind I lost
My sadness too because of you
You made me smile, you made me laugh
You helped me enjoy my life that eventide
I don’t know if you will and for how long
But, it makes my heart swell with pride and happiness
When I get to say that I know you,
Even if it be for a little while!
