Two-Minute “love”



He hugged her goodbye
Left without a number
Left her wanting more
She felt deceived.

It all started right
The journey, lasted long,
He asked questions “no sense”
He made the first move.


Awkward at her first answers
She tried hard not to seem moved.
But couldn’t hold long and gave in
They plunged into dialogue.

Her first lonely journey
He appeared the good guide
Gentle and confidant,
He had it perfect.

He complemented her feet
She seemed intrigued
They discussed it all,
Right from light to leaves.

The sun from nowhere came along
Thought still lingered on
Destination came closer
Both unknowingly tuned eager.

They heard the whistle
Waited till the last moment
The moment never came.
Bags picked up, made way for the door.


She captured every sound
A drop trickled off his temples
They talked merrily still
Till all boiled to slowly kill

He dropped her half way,
He got off too,
Hands shook and waived,
The car engine roared and…

He hugged her goodbye
Left without a number
Left her wanting more
She felt deceived.
