#firstdate
it felt so **** blasphemous;
the way she stared up at the sky,
the lights reflected back at us through her eyes,
was more beautiful than all creation
could've pretended,
and it's just our first date;
what elation.
a pantheon of spite couldn't hide her light inside,
no matter what they did;
beat her down,
broke her legs,
she'd crawl a mile just to get you fresh eggs;
and throughout all of it,
but a smile she would wear,
pulled up to her cheeks,
bathed in soft tufts of golden hair.
and to the gods above:
whichever may have been responsible
to allow me the intangible pleasure
of helping her casually tumble,
through life the same way
as her smile,
never fades,
or the light she carries,
and refuses to let others bury,
seems to sparkle against the everlasting glades,
on which my heart stays afloat,
i didn't even have to pray.
not really anyway, except for that one time between 22 and 35.
she holds my hand,
walking ahead,
keeps me grounded
on earth instead,
keeping my ideals out of the sky,
please, gods let me keep her,
you know why;
looking upon her every day,
and knowing her in every way,
you lot are so lucky,
because instead,
i only see her in glimpses;
the way rose petals falling mock her hip-swing,
the way her smile makes my delicate bones weak,
the way she's leading me
to heaven;
one that you lot can't lock away,
one i surely hope to keep.

At the downtown café
On that bright sunny day
Was my first date with a guy
I felt so unsure, I felt so shy
What should I say, how should I greet
I could feel cold sweat, flooding my feet
So I kept rehearsing, all in my head
Cause messing it up, was my biggest dread
I kept checking my hair and tiding my clothes
Then he suddenly appeared, and I almost froze
I fumbled and mumbled and shook his hand
Not how I wanted it, not how I planned
A nervous wreck, I slumped in my chair
All I could do was just blush and stare
He knew my discomfort and put me at ease
Told me to relax and do as I please
I shook of the nerves, and we chatted about
I could feel a connection; there wasn’t a doubt
The coffee was warm and so was the feeling
As we laughed and learned, a friendship was sealing
He was funny and smart and very clever
How I wished the chat would last forever
Finally, the time came, for us to part
I got up and hugged him straight from the heart
We promised to meet and repeat our date
I walked out the café, elated and great
That dear friends was my first date with a guy
I’m no more unsure, I’m no more shy.

i had a set of rules once,
i don’t know if they still apply —
especially after breaking
a quite significant one tonight:
thing is, on the first date
you shouldn’t kiss anyone.
i don’t know why i’m bothered by it
when we specifically agreed
it wasn’t going to be one.

We watch consumed,
by how he swooned
and soothed, the world around them,
making everything happen.
A knight in shining armour,
the first one to see her.
Even in a slow burn
we know he will return.
So I sink into my seat,
waiting for it all to repeat.
But then it's over.
When they only just got together.
I wanted to see more.
The lifetime they swore,
with every mundane moment
and hint of enjoyment.
I don't want to realise
that it was all just romanticised,
and in actuality,
they were never meant to be.
The meet cute,
a perfectly scripted route.
The first date
that changed his heart rate,
in a destined fate,
that finally lifted the weight
off his shoulders,
now that he can hold hers.
All spontaneity,
a Hollywood reality.
Carefully constructed,
harmoniously corrupted.
In the business
of making a buck off the Mrs.
Forever exploiting,
the love that they're taunting.
The hopeless romantic
made cinematic,
Love turned perfect,
for the sake of a profit.
Breakups and heart ache,
every little mistake
changing their minds,
unsure if they'll find
the one.
But the film has begun,
and we can see, just how clearly
that they are meant to be.
From the first kiss
that was pure bliss.
And coffee shop barista,
who finally slipped a
note on his cup,
to use that stupid pick up
he's been rehearsing,
when he thinks nobody is watching.
The time he turned a blind
when she wrote a note for him to find,
left on the work-top,
and reading it made time stop.
When she searched through the crowd,
but it was all too loud,
and he was nowhere to be found,
until his arms wrapped around,
her waist from behind,
and all the stars aligned.
We watch consumed,
by how he swooned
and soothed, the world around them,
making everything happen.
A knight in shining armour,
the first one to see her.
So now, somehow without ever having it I miss,
everything the romcoms promise.

I don't make out on the first date.
I don't ditch my friends for a guy.
And I definitely don't settle
for being someone's second choice.
I'm hard-to-get,
but once you've got me,
I'm all in.

One ***** cocktail and
Two games of pool
Taking treasured walks
our hands entwined
Sharing our precious time
Stealing glances in your sapphire eyes
You stared into my fire
Plant your protection onto me
Waiting for our souls to entwine
Our bodies fill with adoration
For we deserve and desire
To always remember
We are destined to be
A night we spent you and me
On a crescent moon
Forever, and for eternity

Charming the word first comes to mind,
Hey the word comes out of my Mouth,
A smile on my face,
That cant be removed behind my mask,
As I try to play it cool,
A brawl of rationality in my mind,
No right words comes out of my mouth,
As she wears that black dress,
She's the prettiest girl I see in that crowded place.
A date that is not a date,
wishing it was THE date,
Every minute on that day,
Locked on my memory,
As my first date with you,
It was the best I ever been with,
As your ride arrive,
No words comes out of my mouth,
Only "I enjoy the day"
Hoping it is more than a friendly date,
for the next one I ask you out.

We saw each other for first time
Feels like this is not our first meet
We're so close like partners in crime
When we are walking in the streets
We are laughing at each other
Teasing about imperfections
Our status between me and her
Same vibes with nice conversation
She talks about her own story
And I would be great listener
Feels like I'm reading history
And I'm the only one reader
I'm lucky that's all I can say
Coz I met this girl and so glad
This day is one of my best day
And the best date I've ever had

As first dates go,
'not bad', thought Joe
as his hips ******
to and fro.
His date’s bed rocked
‘til his date’s heart popped
and the fun then
quickly stopped.

And Then I Met Her
It was our first meet
When i saw her
My heart skipped a beat
I was on one side of the road
And She on the other
Everything was in my favor
and yes that weather.
As, i got close to her She got blushed.
Her cheeks turned red as Petals of a flower.
Her relishing antics, her blushing cheeks
And her cute expression.
I couldn't take my eyes off for the session.
She drove me crazy
She was looking beautiful like daisy.
Starring at each other's eyes was making a beautiful sound.
And made me feel as if there was no one around.
The way she put her hand on the chin.
I'm falling fa you, i said with a grin.
I noticed that smile on her face.
And i was thinking her to embrace.
She's an Ocean, her eyes deep sea-blue
I failed reading those as she left no clue.

One more time
Would you say that again?
Please?
Tell me.
Tell me I’m beautiful.
Tell me how much you want me.
It’s... it’s lovely
It’s intoxicating.
And I’m an addict.

There are many illusions.
The fear of not being reciprocal.
The doubt that it can work
. The fear that he will give up.
The confusion that it will leave in my heart.
And every night I'll sleep no more, from now on.

Nerve wracking,
Gritted teeth
Shattering,
Fascinating and
Exhilerating.
A kid in a toy store,
Overwhelmed and
Joyous, I can
Feel the magic
Surrounding you.
Violet hue around
A face of blue,
No one wears excitement
Like you do.
How I want to kiss you.
My hands aching,
You’re breathtaking.
Touch me so that
I may stop shaking.
I’m yours for the taking.

My mind used to run
A day ahead
And sometimes
It would get lost in
Weeks ahead.
Now,
All I can think about
Is you and me
Feet buried in cool sand.
One towel to shield us
From the ocean breeze.
My head on your shoulder
Your head resting against mine.
And how beautiful it is—
The world in our now.

My heart was pounding
when you said yes.
Now here I am getting
dressed to impress.
This is it, the moment
is ours.
Let's both mark
these precious hours.
I promise, I'll do my best
to make you smile.
Knowing me is worth
your while.
I like you girl, you
know I do.
I hope you feel the
same way too.
Then she said
I just want to have fun
with you.
We're only young once
it's true
but it would be a mistake,
to fall in love with me
on a first date.

I don’t know your favourite colour
Or what you sing in the shower.
But I want to.
You’re a stranger,
Yet you held my hand and told me everything you thought of
And all I forgot to think of.
You kissed me,
With your scary hazel eyes
Following my every emotion.
I still don’t know how to feel.
You’re a stranger,
Yet you have a name,
Eight siblings,
A love for Harry Potter.
You have a smile that really does make me feel ugly.
How can you be so calm?
How can you feel so sure of who you are and what you want?
You’re a stranger,
But not for long.
Even if there are no more kisses,
I want to know what you think about alone at night;
how you like your tea.
I want to know every inch of your soul,
Because if you can see even an ounce of good in me,
You must be a sort of dreamer

Dear Cute Boy At The Party,
It was nice meeting you. Again.
I bet you didn’t know you were the first person I ever flirted with. I bet you didn’t know I prepped for this date for a week. I bet you didn’t know how much my heart soared when you asked me out.
Thank you for telling me that I have a cute laugh. Thank you for telling me how much you wanted to see me again before I even left. Thank you for walking me back to the station.
It was nice talking to you.
I know when you complained about the chair, it was just an excuse to sit next to me. I know you want L to like you back. I know you deserve someone who treats you better.
It was nice that you finally messaged me, a week after the party.
But I bet you didn’t know how quickly I accepted the fact I’d never see you again. That I’ve already wrote you two poems and that I’m sat listening to the songs you recommended to me. Thank you for making me realise that the right guy will come along, but not right away. I thought I’d just be that girl at the party who’s name you can’t remember, or face you can’t place, but I was wrong.
It was nice meeting you.
I‘m excited to see you again next week.

I was waiting for him on the escalator on one side of the road
My Heart pumped at the highest rate when all at once realized abode.
Saw him looking generously dashing riding a scooter
He was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans and his hair were messy but modish.
And here I was standing in my usual tank top and jeans,
hair tied in a messy ponytail
just then He saw me, waved And parked his vehicle near my usual bus stop
I walked to his way with my bag full of books.
We sat on the bench and started random talks about everything except what we thought about.
He then started using his phone and I was beginning to feel ignored. He on a spur of moment stopped and stared me and mentioned about our chats and phone calls
"How it started"
"How it became more Frank and comfortable"
"How good friends we became online but never met in real life" strange isn't it?
Then I told him I have to leave and the 'awkward silent moment' and he finally spoke "yeah"
We shook our hand and he refused to let me go
So I smiled and left his hand and eye contact and stood in the row
The bus started moving and I saw him standing there only, shrugging his shoulder and leaving that place.
That was my first and last with him or anyone!!

I point to the stars,
you say they're in my eyes.
I laugh and brush it off this time.
We're here at night,
but I miss the sun.
You tell me you are looking at one.
I ask you what your favorite planet is,
and then you do the same.
My butterflies are getting harder to tame.
I'd love to go to outer space,
see all the planets and the stars.
It's time to leave though now, so you walk me to the car.

At the beginning of the date he wanted sushi,
I wanted a large pizza with extra cheese that sounded like, "No thanks, not hungry."
It was cold outside and it was raining
So naturally we opened up the window as far as it would go -
He quickly lit the panda candle near the window
as if the spark came straight from his fingers
And all I could think was, **** Even with the wind the candle is still lit. This is my guy."
It was romantic and slow and I was a **** fool,
****** in
Feeling like I'm falling after four days.
A little conversation and some food later, I could suddenly make out the width and length of his eyelashes -
"Oh **** He's leaning in."
His hand surfed the curves and waves of my hip,
My entire body felt like a magnet towards his and
Having felt it all
I chalked it up to friendship
While thinking and dreaming of my "friend" wondering how
How could I have been such a fool?
I broke his heart and mine too.
