Down the Street, Take a Right.

If only I had not a glance

At you that day that was by chance

You have the three

I'll not concede

You even have the other pieces

Crisis at the same age

Learning through the mistakes

of others and our own

Studied in the same place

and believing in the same grace

but never have exchanged faces

I was earlier by a semester

I work in the building

you visit after work hours

I serve teens till they graduate

and you serve similar people

We like the same coffee brand

and have the same love for learning

We also share a passion for

writing, drawing, singing

And your humour is amusing

I know this all sounds too common

But some timings were uncanny

As all these happened without intention

- I know I'm being silly, really

I left my workplace when you arrived

I cut my hair when you shaved bald

I awaited my tablet when you posted yours

I fell in love with that coffee just a month ago

And what do you know?

I will run away from knowing more

if I can

If only I had not that glance

Why should I yearn for someone's hand

if being friends seems not God's plan?

I am but a stranger

down the street from you

But if we ever meet for real

I hope we can be friends.
