Blind Date

There was no tingle of anticipation
No looking forward to him
Just thought that I should go
And meet a man unknown to me

fate had plans, as the stars aligned
my friend’s date and mine both blind
chemistry did spark we connected
our dates were sweet as ice-creams

so surrender we did to fate’s comedy
in and out of candy and flowers
chocolates and murmured promises
pillow talks far beyond the night

ten years later he walked by
I couldn’t remember his name
We were vague memories
Of misspent youth.
