She
remembers the moment she first saw him
She doesn't know why it registered in her memory
Even though
she had no idea then
That one day
he will mean something
She still
remembers the dress he wore
Brown
intense eyes in stark contrast with white
She
remembers that exact moment
When their
eyes accidentally met for the first time
She knew him
not, nor had any interest
She didn't bother with a second glance
Little did
she know that fate was in action
Little did
she know that it was another chance
In the past
she has been burned
She suffered
disappointment when love
was what she yearned
She was
scared, and she was
scarred
And she had
vowed to never
again trust her heart
She decided
to find someone
Who would
make her forget the past
And strange
as it may sound
Her eyes set
upon him at last
She never
acted upon her impulse
For she knew revenge leads to no good
She knew she
only wanted to use him
But
conscious in her path stood
She joked
about it later
She laughed behind
his back
Little did
she know that one day
To laugh at
her face, it’ll come back
She thought
he was careless
And arrogant
and vain and a jerk
And even
though she’s a “little right”
Her opinion
of him has changed much
As she got
to know him
Although she
has no idea how it all began
But little
by little she got to know him
And in her
eyes, respect he regained
She began
telling him things
Secrets she
never thought she’d share
His opinions
began to matter
She still
wonders how they got there
She doesn't know what’s going on between them
Doesn't even
know if it’s just her imagination
He knows
that she considers him just a friend
But just
exactly who is she to him?
He’s always
evasive about it
Hinting,
retreating and changing
He has her
on her toes
Trying to
decipher his meaning
She doesn't know if there’s something between them
Other than
maybe he’s just being friendly
He is never
open about it
And that’s
what she finds scary
She cannot
define the place he holds
In her life
or in her heart
But whatever
it is, it’s nice
Even though it's not clear
Even though
he annoys her
And at times
she hates his imprudence
There are
times when she wants to kill him!
His cheeky
replies test her endurance
He gets
under her skin like no other
And she
could strangle him for trying!
But it’s
refreshing to see someone
Who has the
guts to try
At times he
too hates her
Misunderstandings
always creep in
He expects
her to read between the lines
But
straight-forward she has always been
Even now she
hates him
For daring
to climb those walls
That around
herself she had built
With his
insults, riddles and all
She does not
know what he means to her
Or she to
him for that matter
But whatever
it is, it’s something
Let’s see
what happens further.
