The Begining

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.
