While watching two sweet young lovers clad in their high school uniforms exchanging sweet nothings, I can’t help my self but to reminisce a similar experience I have gone thru. Getting my pen, I started my recollections of that cherished memories with a girl named Laila. Read on to explore what magic one “silly conversation” brings.

A Silly Love Affair

http://www.flickr.com/photos/normalityrelief/3568065909/

I went to your place just to hang-out

The way I always do

Somehow, you felt I acted odd 

But how? You had no clue?

Then all of a sudden, I told you a story

Of how I met this lovely girl

Of how her sweetness and pretty smiles

Just gave my heart a twirl.

I spoke of her beauty, her lovely voice

The way she sung so well

I said from the moment I saw her face

I fell into her spell.

It killed you  how I spoke of her

As if she was “the one”

Like being with her meant the world for me

Without her, life was done.

You tried to be happy, keeping a straight face

But inside, it hurt a lot

The more you tried to hold it in

The more jealous you got.

So on you went baffling me

Telling a web of lies

About this guy, you never met

Who “had the cutest eyes”.

You told me that he asked you out

You named a place you’d go

I simply smiled and said “Okay”

Like there was something I didn’t know

The very next night, I called you up

And, Oh! To your  surprise

I seemed to know that all you said

Were just a bunch of lies.

I told you that there was this thing

I had to tell you too

And as you listened, you kept wondering

If what I said was true.

Through your silence, I poured it out

With a voice as cold as a morning dew 

I told you that my lovely girl

Was no one else but you.
