My Forgotten Valentine

Deep blue and charismatic, slightly naughty yet kind I wonder what they searched for, as his eyes bore into mine I think he had ruffled hair, but I can’t exactly recall All that I remember is that his eyes had made me fall He looked at me I looked at him, and a new world begun I had a new set of feelings, a new type of fun My heart, felt heavier, I was floating in mid-air I had the strongest urge to look pretty with my hair His eyes were so deep they had a gravity of their own Pulling me so strong, like I was meant to take this throne I had seen in films, what love was actually like But never had I experienced it, nor this emotional hike “Sorry” he sexily said when he accidentally dropped my books “No problem” I managed to say focusing hard on my looks But he just looked around, and simply walked away After taking a few steps, he turned to look my way That got me excited, and he gave a crooked smile My heartbeat sped, and I was mesmerized by his style I wish I’d stopped to talk to him, but my voice cracked That was the last we met, and that’s a hard fact Was he a devilish angel, or an angelic devil? Well, at least my first love didn’t cause me any trouble I so really wish I still remembered his face Nevertheless, his eyes’ memory remains…

This reminds me of one of the scenes from our Hindi movies. Way back there was a movie called Mere Mehboob and it had a similar scene. You brought it out nicely.

I really really enjoyed this one. It reminded me so much of a few of the guys I had liked in high school who seemed to like me and yet nothing ever went anywhere with them. Makes ya wonder and you can barely remember their faces, yet you know how awesome they seemed to you in the moment. Hope this does well in the contest.
