She was not the most beautiful,
Still I wonder why I fell for her;
Neither did she have those flattery eyes,
Nor it was, a moment's spur.

It all happened slowly and gradually,
Took me almost a year to realise that;
Those moments were little but meant plenty,
Oh boy, do I still today, fantasize that.

I liked some girls while I hung out with her,
****, I even dated a few;
But she was still in some corner of my heart,
I took nearly a year to tell her or maybe, two.

But still we never got together,
Because it'll only ruins things, she said.
I can't look in her eye if mine burst, I replied,
My heart was in the right place & so was my head.

I didn't forget her till date,
Nor will I ever stop loving her;
But we're way past those days,
It all looks like a big fat blur.

Hard to remember the last time that I saw her,
Maybe it was at the supermarket at the corner;
Wait, no it was the bar that I still go to,
Then, I realised it was me who adorned her.

She still never ceases to amaze me,
My vulnerable heart, did she plunder;
She wasn't that beautiful, as such,
Why did I fall for her, I wonder?
