The Same Coffee Cup

I ran into her, 

Eyes met, 

Emotions met 

And time didn't fleet

In the market.

Your vermilion 

Didn't stop you, 

Your bangles 

Didn't stop you, 

Your mangalsutra

Didn't stop you. 

Yes, 

You shared 

The same coffee cup, 

Tears trickled

And 

Indignant lips were 

Not in a mood to soak. 

Allowing the moment to win, 

Allowing the love 

To become immortal, 

You ruffled my hair 

To veer away like a zephyr 

And 

I didn't run to catch up, 

I mused on you 

And 

I mused on you 

Still, you disappeared.
