Short While Poem by Mhawi Rosero

i was about to enter the gate
when i saw you coming
you’re with your friend..

i ran after you
but only to pass by
i regretted
that i was too shy to greet you

i was just contented
seeing you walked slowly
i turned away from your sight
thinking of the chance i missed

and then i was about to flee
when i saw you coming
my heart tumbled, my thought rumbled
when you smiled at me

you’re with your friends
i hesitated
but thinking of another opportunity that i would miss
i approached you
it was really a new reality
with you and your laughter
it filled my world
and brought me into a dimension of heavenly bliss

you talked sweetly
and how bright your eyes are
you’re a picturesque view
i was a hypnotized spectator

how i wish to stay with you
i wished the time would stop
so i could be with you
for a long while
but the time has come
you said good bye
and i was back into my world
of my dreams of you
