Crossed Paths

Crossed Paths - Akshara Sudarshan (Deeksha, Twelfth Grade)

Autumn had already begun,

Our work as students was still undone;

We saw each other in the middle of October,

that's when I noticed your obsession with that blue sweater.

I wish I could tell you that you looked cute,

But I was so hooked that I went mute.

To the ones who ask me,

I will describe you as an ephemeral art;

Even so, I'm sure I can't convey the impressions

that you left in my heart.

To be exact, you just passed by like a feather,

I intend to cross paths again, for the better.
