-THE ENCOUNTER.
The girl’s hair is messed
Cheerful long curls dancing in the air
She is happy for her upcoming interview the next morning
Nothing in the menu seems familiar
She knows the dinner is for one
Still orders for two
Hero behind the counter
Starts preparing their first meal
The Man is seating on her left
Where does she come from he wondered
Do you need a friend?
Do you need a lover?
Are you the one who is going to save me?
ARE YOU THE ONE WHO IS GOING TO SAVE ME?
He grabs his pen
It’s my first time getting inspired to write
But what I am doing feels nice
And starts writing silent notes to the girl
He was afraid to share his notes with her
The girl is seating on his right
What is he writing she wondered
Are you writing a poem?
Are you writing a note?
Are you writing a love story?
ARE YOU WRITING OUR LOVE STORY?
She grabs the menu
It’s my first time trying Japanese food
But what I am eating tastes nice
And starts giving silent bites to the man
She wasn’t afraid to share her food with him
