Romantic Beginnings

Furtive glances
Flirtatious smiles
Blushed faces
Hushed tones
Tentative you
Doubtful she
Roundabout questions
Evasive replies
Nothing clear
Nothing known
The ‘does s/he,
Does s/he not’ phase
Foggy minds
Soggy hearts
Rose tinted glasses
No more passes
Yearning for togetherness
Seldom, very less
Then gradually
That glint in the eye
And the racing heart
No waiting till tomorrow
The Cupid’s arrow
Oh! This heady feeling
Oh! These romantic beginnings
