Journey of a ‘hello’ from a stranger

At the cusp of a teenage dream

arrived a ‘hello’ with a cute giggle.

The first shot of dopamine,

The first flap of a butterfly wing,

It flew as high as cloud nine

of my teenage dream.

At the cusp of adulthood

arrived a ‘hello’ with a beautiful smile.

The first melody on a song of our own,

The first rhythm of a different heartbeat,

It made us dance like the world was blind,

like us to the irony.

At the cusp of reality

stands a tender soul

Awaiting the arrival of a ‘hello’.

for the joy of the firsts,

and the memory that lasts,

this journey to forever

has beauty on every road.
