What if.. it happened??

Memories flashed as I closed my eyes,
That fourth bench of the lecture hall
All but by a chance, you sat beside
We had a glance, and realised

You so shy, me such a git
How could a story, ever apply?
You thought it was your last
I knew my first.. The lecture
Of a subject I loved,
But you could never admire.

The lights flickered, time stopped
When we for the first time talked
You knew it was something
About me worth considering,
A talkative childish girl,
You weren't expecting

Loved me with all your heart
Dialled every emotion you could afford
I wonder how things would have been
Last night, that train scene

Our bond forever, was it to cleave?
But before we could leave
You leaned forward,
I blinked, irony smirked!
I so craved for that last kiss
Or to see you again, and confess

If only time could take a turn
Stop there, for not more
Than a moment
I would have laid my heart out for you
Hugged you again and never let go

It's a story I couldn't resist but behold
Not to be read, not to be shown
For I fear you'll read it somehow
And you will know, or do you, by now?
