My Green dress

Cherry picking the dress from my wardrobe
My eyes fell on the green maxi dress
And my memory started flashing like a strobe
I was wild and raw with my loosely curled tress
My eyeglasses were slipping down my nose
And you gave me a beaming dimpled smile
Your cute smile was getting up my nose
I lacked style and my heart was fragile


You were my glimpse and I became your dream
I was nonchalantly leading my life
You were blood, sweat and tears flowing in a stream
I was abstracted, unaware and naive
I was running behind my dreamy wings
You were and are running behind your mother's dream

After 8 years. ....
Finally my Facebook notification bell rings
I got your friend request and my eyes got gleam

We had a chitter chatter all night long
I talked, I weeped, I bursted and you kept strong
I found my tranquility, my harmony in you
Juvenile side of mine got her father in you
My solitude and  melancholy died because of you
Romantic side of mine ignited in me, for you
I never knew I belong to you, My habitat is you
I never knew I can love someone else over myself too
