FIRST LOVE
Searched on Facebook 
huge list showed up 
with exact same name
but none resembled the
picture I had of him 
last seen when in my teens
and he, all of sixteen

Brown hair, blue eyes,
in blue blazer, blue tie
strikingly handsome, a tad shy
Stole glances on the sly
travelling to school in same bus
no words exchanged, but smiles,
to validate love, couldn't hide

A few scribbled notes I have
on ruled pages from his note pad
declaring his undying love
asking to wait till time was ripe
for us to share the spotlight 
announce to our parents
we were for each other right

Alas! that day didn't arrive
heard he had migrated to 
Australia land of the free
All Ango Indians desired
to settle, build new lives
Vacant bus seat thereafter 
stared at me unsmilingly 

Still think of him in my
waking hours and dreams
remembering every detail
of his gentle personality
And of our muted love
that transcended physicality
Yet made me feel so womanly
