First Date

We had so many things
In common.
Cup cakes over any other.
Bike over cars. 

Ice cream after tea in
The winters and long
Unplanned walks than
Waiting for buses.

We hit it off well, 
That evening.

"Lunch Box" over any
Other movie.
Periwinkles anyday than
Daisies.

We sat for long, 
Discussing how marriages 
Are scams and where all 
One can travel with all 
The saved money.

We decided to meet
Again after a year,
In the same place if
Things work out.

I was almost leaving,
Disappointed.
Then you appeared on
A bike suddenly asking 

How about Ice-cream 
After tea? And I said
To Ma that night,
Bahu mil gayi.
