Second Date

Updated: Oct 3

By Aishu Rittika



It's only the second date

And I feel this warmth

Spreading in the middle of my chest

What a lovely feeling it is.


I see you there, in your red shirt

Look at me, and not realise

That it's me, in a black sari

And you chuckle, oh how cute.


Your smile, 

With your perfect lips

And your perfect teeth

And those pretty creases, 

Around your cheeks

I cannot get enough of it

Your silliness and your quirky wit.


You take my hands and intertwine

Your beautiful fingers into mine

I look at it, you look at it,

"So perfect", on our minds.


You think so hard to make your move

But I already had made mine

Looking in your eyes

With my hands around your shoulder

We try so hard to just look,

Just look into each other's eyes,

And not anywhere else, anything else.


A sigh, 

With a lot of contentment

And a little bit of sadness,

Coz what if this ends up like the last one,

I don't wanna lose what's mine.


I crave more of your touch,

But I like how mindful you are

Holding hands and nothing more

But why does it feel like paradise?


You take me to the beach,

All the way me squealing

Like a little child given 

Her favourite candy.

 

"I'm so glad I met you" 

Every second I wanna say,

The feeling of holding you, God!

I don't wanna jinx it babe.


We sit down on the sand

Now I'm done waiting

I wrap your hands around me

You love it, I love it.


We're both thinking

"Too fast, it's gonna crash"

"Let's take it a bit slow"

And I wrap both hands around you,

I'm sorry, I can't hold back.


The warmth in my chest

Spreads with content

So full my heart is,

Brimming with joy.


The beach, the air, the sand,

And my head on your chest,

I'm thinking to myself,

This is the best it can get.


Babe, I've always wanted,

For someone to show me,

How much they feel for me,

Just hold me, and be with me.


You went a step ahead,

And sung for me.

Songs I did not even know,

Felt so close to my heart.

Coz I could hear your voice twice,

Once in the air,

And once in your chest.

My god that feeling,

Indescribable in words.

The vibrations I felt,

Like drizzles on flowers,

On a full moon day,

The moonlight beaming,

And the flowers, smiling back.


We get on top of each other

As much as Chennai beaches let you

I put my hands around you

And you go "Don't do this babe"

Ah, how much I've craved for this,

And this happening with you, babe

Makes it all the more better.


I take your hand, and kiss it.

You look at me, I can't face you,

I look down, keep looking down

You take my hand, and kiss it.

I still can't look at you,

But I'm gone. 

Poof, into the air!


We look at each other,

Our faces so close,

Hands wrapped around each other,

Eyes piercing each other's,

I find your passion stronger than mine,

Coz it was me who broke eye contact.


I lie on your shoulders,

My legs on you,

My hands around you,

Look up at your face,

And kiss your cheek.

A million thoughts

In both of our heads

Ah, who cares, I loved it.


But here comes the surprise,

Coz I never thought,

You'd kiss me back,

But you did.

A better kiss.

You held me so close to your body,

So warm I feel in your hands,

And you kiss me deep,

On my cheek,

I savour every moment of it,

The passion there was,

And the "IDGAF" attitude there was,

I fell for it, babe,

I did.


I love your voice,

I love your veins,

Everything about you is so perfect babe

I wanna fall, without holding back

Give in, let loose 

But I know, it's not yet time,

And I will wait for it babe.


Coz what's without the thrill

Of craving something so bad

And being made, to wait for it.
