She (Short Story) Poem by Hossam Qadry

We only met once, didn't talk at all, were stealing some gazes among our friends, she was wearing a feminine white dress made her look like an angel with silk ribbons as bright as her smile, smiling while watching my captor playing and running everywhere around, her laugh fell my soul with joy, and her shy looks were head turning, I don't know how, but all of a sudden I was just beside her, no one around us, we didn't try to join the rest, yet we stood trying to make a clear look to each other's eyes, we talked in the same time, her voice was sweet and clear that I didn't care about what i was saying.

I don't know what i have told her to make her blush and turn her hair behind her ears while looking to the ground with a smile that makes you over the moon, we heard a trend of some slow music playing near us, we held hands and began to dance, at first she trembled a bit, but later on she managed to fit the rhythm, then she put her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes letting me lead the dance, and when the music stopped she opened her eyes, smiled at me, and kissed me on the cheek, then she walked back slowly to her seat beside her mom... I could never forget that three years old child that captured my mind and heart.
