Mobile woes

1 Message Received, one morning, buzzes her mobile
Must be his message she squeals in delight

I'll see you sometime is what he had said
so what if, that day, he was slightly inebriated

She jumps across the bed and stretches out
to the corner of the room where her fone is charged

She stops short of reading with mind afflutter
Oh, how'll I tell him - my love, with courage mustered

His gaze, his note is all she craves for
his music, his books is what her shelf is full of

How emotional undercurrents overwhelmed her
when he invited her for a drive and dinner

How distracted and wary, that day, was she
when he sat next to her in the movie


How she remembered the first touch and nudge
Even if it was to cross a busy road, it was too much

And flashes the message, teasingly, in front of her
'Good Morning dear Airtel Customer...'

She deletes the message with a dismal smile
and she writes, 'wassup dude? its been a while..'
