And the rest, as they say, is history...

Unlike other girls
a backbencher she was
pause-playing her Mp3
while sleeping through the Physics class.

Walked around in her world
A lonely corridor was sometimes Hogwarts to her
wavy hair, dreamy eyes
in every face, searched her 'miracle'.

And then it happened
It happened like this
He came around
and she just couldn't miss
She wished him "Happy birthday"
He took her hand in his
shook it and said, "Thank you"
and she just knew...

And then her life's story
took a chick flick turn
he was someone unreachable
and to him she was the 'invisible' one.

She was one crazy girl I knew
dearly awaited her birthday
counted it on her finger tips all year round
but this year someone's birthday became her favorite day.

And then it happened
It happened like this
Winter thawed and gave way
to February bliss
Sealed her love in a little card
she anonymously gave away her heart
he picked it up
and he just knew...

"It wasn't that easy
a million other things..."
She wiped a tear
and left the sentence incomplete
smiled a little and continued
"but all that matters is that day
that 'start'
And the rest, as they say, is history."
