Love ballads and soulful melodies played out in my mind,
As his strikingly beauteous brown eyes crossed mine.
There in the middle of the bustling and chaotic street,
I had felt this inexplicable burst of happy retreat.
Euphoria?
And when he twirled me on the dance floor, so effortlessly,
My heart skipped two beats, and I almost fainted gracelessly.
Then he knelt down before me and popped the question!
I wept in sheer joy as our kiss sealed his undying proclamation.
I pushed the bedroom window open on our first day;
Letting the fragrant spring air blow my long hair away.
I danced down the stairs to make him a delicious dinner,
As today he would come back without her lipstick shimmer.
Euphoria.
He hugged me from behind & caressed my plump right cheek
I melted into his embrace, but I could smell her scent, ever so chic;
So, I decided to close my eyes to relive our first ever kiss
As I turned to savour my bubble of newly wedded bliss.
The other day, I saw him text her sweet nothings; It was tough.
So, I played the melody he wrote for me on the day we fell in love;
And performed a clumsy ballet piece to the enchanting encore,
Whilst I hugged her out of my mind, standing in the chilling rain pour.
Often I ponder, when I smell her in our house on a Wednesday,
Is she the one who was with him on the sidewalk the other day;
The pretty lady he hugged so closely on the dance floor after me?
But I let go; instead, I let his euphoric kiss make my mind disagree.
