There she stood, looking pretty in her blue polka dot dress,
Enjoying the sea breeze, continuing to make me guess,
Nervously I waited for her answer, my mind a total mess
You see, I had poured my heart out for the first time,
Embedded a secret message in a long winded rhyme,
All I could hope for was that she will eventually see
Reason, and realize that we were always meant to be
She just sat there, with a knowing smile, enjoying her fresh lime!
Angels are supposed to sing when you meet your love,
God must have been busy, He didn't even send a dove!
"Oh c'mon SRK! You really believe in this mush now?!?"
Say what you will, love makes you forget logic
Hell, I'd even say it makes you believe in magic
Eventually, one day you go back in time and get all nostalgic!
"So, what do you say? Did you get the code?"
Asked I, for I was already thinking down the road
"I did," she said and looked at me with her poker face
"Do you have your answer?" I asked as I felt my heart race...
"You already seem to know what I am going to say..."
"Er, maybe, I would still like to hear it, be that as it may"
She smiled... so many years have passed, still feels like yesterday...

PS: In my four plus decades on this pale blue dot circling the sun, I have achieved a lot, even things that I didn't even set out to achieve, and I want to achieve a lot more in future... But the one that I am most proud of, the feather in my cap so to say, is to have charmed her to say Yes to me... Never gonna top that!
