I once fell in love with a musician.

Met her in a bar where her band performed

I had my dinner rather slowly

pissing off the waiter as I was the last guy

immediately paid the bill and rushed out

as the band packed their gears,

I casually approached her

got the courage to speak

the dialogues I had rehearsed in the table.

Fast forward few nights later,

by the bedside

she asked me to sing along with her

I hesitated

I don't remember the song

atleast hum with me

sorry I don't know.

she turned the other side and

plugged in her earphones
(which I didn't notice)

The next day she didn't pick my calls,

clueless I resumed with my boring life

and wrote in my diary

"I remember every stroke of her finger

how the index finger nudged the third string

for that reason she had her nails tidy

how she closes her eyes

everytime she ends a verse,

I know nothing about music

nor I did care

I only knew she was angelic enough

on that rotating stool

hugging her guitar like

a kid protecting her doll.

I don't remember how good the band sounded

for my senses failed to work together

when I met her"
