Bitter or Sweet !!

Little did I expect,

to find trouble, right at the brink of a new turn,

Unaware of the looming pain,

I let the mooning glances get me in trouble!

Never did I expect,

to be the 'holding hands down the corridor' girl,

Oblivious to the consequences,

I blindly let myself be led, into the world of a 16-year-old again !!

Hardly did I expect,

I would feel a flutter in my stomach everytime I hear a name,

Unaccustomed to that world, a lifetime of years later,

I let myself be a blabbering stupid, blushing everytime I felt a pair of eyes on me...

Seldom did I expect,

a smart young lady to swoon, when her gaze was held from across the room,
Little did I know,

it would lead to a series of daydreams, and a serious case of restlessness, frustration and want!!

But I did know,

sweet things taste better with a pinch of salt, or after something really bitter,

Barely did I know,

it is going to be a really tough task, to find an antidote for the sweetness I now knew...

Barely do I know now,

what ends where, and where the other begins,

Somehow,

Bitter and sweet, taste pretty much the same now!!
