Post-Covid Dating
Such a romantic evening
Both engrossed in watching
A movie in the theatre
Naturally ‘together’
He occupies the aisle seat
Away some 20 feet
She’s on his left extreme
In between
He messages
In response
She blows kisses
Movie over
They head for dinner
Yes, candlelight dinner
Soft music and sound
Perfect background
Sitting across each other
Lost in chewing and chomping
Can’t bother
Sumptuous food
Getting them into the mood
The long awaited date finally on
Her company so captivating
Four hours already gone
She glances at her watch
‘Oh Gosh!’
He asks for the bill
Now notices
She’s dressed to kill
The bill arrives
Dues paid, off they drive
She in her Honda City
He in his dad’s Maruti
Escorting her all the way
Telling himself, ‘What a fabulous day!’
Reaches home
Hears a ping
Her message read-
“Thank you for everything
Wonderful time spent
In this age of social distancing.”
