The First Date

There were no roses, no drinks,
Neither were there any chocolates,
Nor any balloons and sparkly gifts,
There were just you and me,

Under the velvet night sky,
With the serenading trees,
And the whispering wind.
The time like river slipped by,

As we talked the night away,
The stars bore witness to our promenade.
The hands barely brushed,
But the souls got entangled that day,

In the eons old dance of the universe,
Twirling and swirling, all night long.
The dawn came,
And the hands barely brushed,
But the souls got entangled, forever.
