At the SATAVAHANA

Early in the morn,I set-up myself & ran,
to the station,to catch the hyderabad train.
Going to the capital,to write an exam,
confused I was if I could get on.

Nearing the station,bells rang in my heart,
anticipating someone,dear to my heart.
Putting down the bags,I glanced at the crowd,
halting my sight,at a damsel in black.

Euphoria filled my heart & exited I was,
to see my charming girl,just before my eyes.
But,as I looked at her,she turned away,
and as she looked at me,I turned away.

This went on,till she caught her train
& I followed her,to catch the same train.
Thought to meet her,after she got down,
but,couldn't wait,as she never got down.

Climbing the stairs,I saw her get down,
but,it was too late,as I reached the gate.
So,wanting to see her again,was all in vain.
She had to go her way & I had to go my way.
