Virtually Yours

It’s quite late into the night
With all my courage, I text her hi
As the ticks turned blue
I wondered if my timing was right
My heart beats faster and faster
Every time my phone chimes
Restlessly I look for her reply
Unlocking my phone multiple times
For that one message which took almost a lifetime as I fell asleep
Finally, when I woke up one day I see that reply
My heart sank and my throat felt dry
I kept asking myself what next
Days went, months passed!
Was I dreaming? Was it reality?
I woke up on my bed with a window creaking
Cause of the rain that was pouring
Was she a fact or was it all a fiction?
I got up from my bed standing and staring
Outside the window thinking
WHAT COULD IT HAVE BEEN?

If only eyes could speak
They would say a lot more than what you mean
But that’s not how we want it to be
Does anyone prefer truth over lie?

We talk a lot, but all that is noise
Honesty, is never a popular choice
All these conversations that are indistinct
Ain’t never going make things any different

Things change and so do we
But we pretend to be the same
That’s what we want them to see
Waking up every day to put on that mask
Hoping to forget all that is past
Without a second thought comes that fake smile
Not sure if it is going to last for a while
All we want to do is keep on making those conversations
Which are indistinct
If you hear them closely, they are nothing
But cold silence

She makes her way into the club
Walking briskly in those high heels
Wearing a sweet perfume on her
Which I could smell from miles
I was standing at the corner with my beer
As she passed by
And I got a close look at her
I exclaimed “Oh my”
Haven’t seen a woman so amazing in a while
I asked myself
Is she The One
Is she The One

She walks onto the dance floor
Making all the heads turn
As the music grows louder
She shows off her moves and then some!
I couldn’t take my eyes of her
Her beauty had me dazed
My heart just stopped for a moment
When she looked at me and waved
I couldn’t help myself but think
This is the moment
She is The One
She is The One

I took her hand and we danced
Forgetting the world around us
Before I even knew it we were kissing
And it was pure bliss
I asked what’s her name
And she whispered in my ear
I was in such an awe, I could hardly hear
I wasn’t really sure
Things seemed unclear
Before I knew it
She had disappeared
I looked everywhere for her
Strolling desperately around the bar
I thought we could be something together
But I don’t even know who you are

Letting out a tired laugh
I told myself
Hey Miss Someone
I thought you were The One
And with the blink of an eye,
You were gone.

It seemed like just another night in the city
Until she passed by
I stopped and looked back
To see if she smiled

Surrounded by so many
In the middle of the street
She was very hard to find
I stood there and closed my eyes
And took a minute to rewind

She was on her phone
Speaking fluent Mandarin
And her pitch black silky hair
Smelled like tea, flavour jasmine

They say looks can kill
She had such eyes
And carried a majestic vibe
Which could make a grown man cry

The pendant shined on her neck
Looked like an expensive Jade
I tried to picture her face again
Before my memories could fade

Frantically I looked around
Letting out a cold sigh
But she was already lost in that crowd
And I wondered if she smiled
