A Famous Forgotten Love Story

Salute to the very first sight,                                                                                                           

Her silky white hair,                                                                                                                  

I was in love with,                                                                                                                   

She was standing at center,                                                                    

She was an omen of a future very bright.

 

 She was standing taller than anything,                                                                                                         

 Even the flying birds saluted her blue eyes,                                                                                                

 She charmed everyone who came near her,                                                                                                

 Even the clown outside the mall watched her with respect                                                                                     

 Every heart was full of pride.

 

They called my name,                                                                                                                 

 I went to the stage,                                                                                                                  

 She eyed at me with proudness,                                                                                                          

Her saffron blouse tucked under her green skirt,                                                                                              

Waved with air as the song played.

She danced along with the song,                                                                                                              

Every face had a wide smile,                                                                                                            

After blueness for so long,                                                                                                               

I stood in attention,                                                                                                                    

Watching along.

 

My love became immortal,                                                                                                              

Purer every day,
