A mild summer day 

The sun rolled

Under thin clouds

The wind was unambitious 

Just yawned 

Newly acquainted

They sat under a banyan tree

Their first date

Not much to say

Conversed superficially

Silent moments

She smiled shyly

He handed her roses

Her eyes deep as oceans 

Her lips ripened cherries

Charmed him 

Irresistibly staring at her

He forgot love lines

He had rehearsed
