He caught me

My saree trailing behind me as I run,

I was just running from him for fun.

It’s always a joy when he catches me,

My feet move and I giggle uncontrollably.

My long black hair flying all around,

His only clue being my anklets’ sound.

My cheeks ache but I kept smiling,

Slowly coming to a halt and hiding.

My bangles fighting to tell him our direction,

He knew, I was just playing for his affection.

My heart raced wildly as I waited for him,

He started crooning my name like a hymn,

I couldn’t control myself and sighed happily,

I realized my fault when he found me easily.

In an instant, arms wrapped around my waist,

His eyes told me I was no more being chased.

Arms went around his neck as I snuggled close,

We stood like that, how long, no one knows.

Glancing into the deep brown pools of his,

Stood on my tip toes as I demanded my kiss.

We pulled apart only to take a deep breath.
