# The sad, cute Yeti

Taking a break from heavy philosophical explorations, here’s a story of a cute, budding love story. Have tried to maintain rhyme and similar lengths of lines, but I am not yet sure of how it has turned out😅

Anyways, do read along…

    Aww, she is cute when she is sad
    No, I mean it is bad that she is sad.
    Who is he? That ruffian for a lad...
    He is making her day very very bad.
    
    I am furious, and I am now, mad
    At that boy who is farthest from rad.
    As my eyes, on her's, are laid
    Gazes meet and all's said that's yet unsaid.
    
    And now I am the focus, he, the backdrop
    Reddish is my glare and away, he takes a hop.
    
    Back on the cutie, I focus
    And of my universe, she is the locus.
    
    Her gaze drops and her face's tomato
    And I am high, and so full of bravado.
    Forward, I step, but come crashing down
    Poof, the high's gone, confused I frown.
    
    I panic and my palms are sweaty
    And heart's racing, like I have seen a Yeti.
    I turn around, and away, I run, to get a grip
    But deep down I know, now it's a never-ending trip.
    
    - Nimitta
    

    P.S. :- I hope it's not atrociously cringe. Have also written a follow-up to this. Will be posting it next time. Have a good day🙂.
