Rum

It was the cold January wind that blew you into my life

When I first saw you,

It never crossed my mind that you would be this significant

I always thought that this is just some sort of a fling just like in the past

Soon enough, I felt that connection and I knew you felt it too

But I had not yet explored the possibility of things turning romantic or physical

I remember that cold January night

We were crossing the road

I was scared and you knew it

You reached for my hand

Held it tightly in yours

Made me feel protected

Something shot through me that felt like a bolt of electricity

I actually shook

Neither of us could say a thing

But the look on your face, to me, it meant everything

I can’t help repeating what happened that night over and over

Your stare is bursting with static

Your touch is so electric

And the way you make me feel is eccentric
Such a foreign feeling

I wished for someone just like you

Please prove to me that this is true
Show me that the spark I feel I knew is real

‘Coz you make me feel alive

You got me electrified
