Sitting still on that bright sunny morning,
My silhouette contorted on the floor beneath me,
I recall with utmost precision, all the occurrences of that day.
With barely any space in that small congested office,
I sat readying myself for what the day would bring with it.
Same old things, but just a new day, I thought.
"Hi Pat" the message appeared in full glare on the screen,
Unaware of the thoughts running through me,
But fully conscious of my desire to care,
I made a half-hearted stare, but well knowing I had to reply.
"Hi", the reply was that bare
It was only but the start of a huge dare.
The pleasantries didn't last, so as was expected
This was a stranger I had barely spoken to until now
Only crossed paths on a few occasions at school.
Midway the tete-a-tete, she stumbled upon a revelation,
That actually, a good fraction of me was meek and mild.
Such was our first encounter!
