Crossroads

With a heart full of anticipation

On an evening which was a celebration

Running on cobbled streets with a preoccupation

Walking by cafes and shops without hesitation

Turning familiar corners without cessation

With a spring in her step, she hurried towards the destination

Cheeks glowing pink from the warmth of her dash

Walking into a dazzling room, blinded by a flash

With the heavily perfumed air making her teeth gnash

Catching a glimpse of familiar smiling lips and a sash

Frantically hunting for a quick getaway to avoid a rehash

A sudden gaze from the far corner made her face go grey as ash

Years of memories flashed in front of her eyes

It had all started with covert glances and her persistent nays,

Until the moment when it was time for goodbyes

There were countless happy and blissful days

A million thoughts raced through her mind

Long after they parted, she believed they were two of a kind

Life’s mysterious ways, what would they unwind

Those days of fun, frolic and love, would she again find
