Regrets

Impatience coursed through my body The mehendi art is taking a long time Then there was you My heart skipped a beat Our eyes met and I looked away   Quick glances paved a path towards him Why was I so impatient before? I decided to take a seat in the hut Knowing that I'll have a clear view of you Then there was you Hurrying towards me and sitting beside me Now I'm a mess And he starts shifting towards me And I shift away from him Making me clamp my lips hard so I wouldn't smile to myself Your laugh It stood out like a definition given at lectures                            your voice I listened intently Like its the instructions given at a mid exam Making me clamp my lips even harder She finished it quickly! Now why was I impatient again? Oh yah he's still there Not having a clue that he's making my tummy a kaleidoscope of butterflies Are we that desperate to have a quick taste of love at first sight? Is it even love? Maybe.. I moved myself away from him Away from the hut Towards the little gap between the wall Swallowing my feelings of regret Do I have to go home? Whoa! love does make you blind Were you that special to make me still think about you To write about you To try to remember your laugh I guess you certainly are I regret it now I regret that I didn't make a move to show how much I like you I regret holding back my smile I regret not saying a word to you when you sat beside me I regret every passing second knowing that I would never see you again Glancing at my mehendi art Realization crept out A few minutes A huge crush A heavy weight of regret.
