You tried to steal a glance

Walking by me like the silence of night

In a crowded place.

I saw the sparkle in your eyes

And a naughty smile danced

But I’m still not sure,

If that was just me or

If you really did smile

Like the fireflies I like.

Your hair blazing

On a gloomy noon

And your hands were busy

Trying to put off a fire.

Like a long stem rose

Tall & frail your fame

But stronger than rosewood

Is what I hope you are.
