about a girl ..

..
a young boy with impressionable mind reads stories to fill his time
a heartfelt vein of romance, on the lookout for his special one
he seeks a face, a radiant smile
but only in dreams, for he is shy
many years and many faces go by, the quest for his Juliet is alive
school classrooms make way for the college lecture halls
many crushes and some near-misses & falls
friends come and friends go,
some he is truly glad to know - his Juliet still eludes him though

she walks in one day, in a guise
so childlike with dreamy black eyes
sings melodies that only he could recite
he is too busy with work to recognize
who had time for romantic notions - “colleagues” & “corporate professional” - that's what they become
yet it is destined that one day they two must be one

roulette of time rolls on, in a far off land they meet again
two lost souls in a see of faces, each face a mask
his is the only face she knows and he knows her at last
two colleagues now close friends
she shares her stories with him - he sings her his songs
why are her dreams so close to mine, the boy wonders on
till he comes to realize, she completes him like no one

he espouses her love-she is not sure
she lives by a simple code and his is a complex mind
what if he turns out the wrong guy, itz so hard for her to find
Yet she takes a chance, something tells her to leave the fears behind
in him she believes - all heart and mind
they come together, a moment treasured in time

life has never been any better
each day he grows, his love for her even more
and the heavens conspire to keep it all together
distances – now the don't matter- their bond is forever
the dreamy back eyed girl is his Juliet, he did discover
