It's not happened in a long time
But I'm glad it's stirring up now
Me, you enthrall, surprise, amaze!
By the things you do and say
Jokes you share, feelings you accidentally bare


Have just met you
Surely don't know you much
But yes, there is intrigue in the air
This uncanny desire to always be there


You say your busy
You do not even call
I really want to understand
Play it along slowly and all


Yet the impulsive impatient Arien in me
Can't steady herself for long you see
You double faced Geminian
Can't you keep aside this pattern of yours for a little while?


All I ask is for you to remember me
In between your unending meetings and messy excel sheets
I'm curious to get to know you better sooner
To scratch the surface and dig down deeper!


Strong is the pull, a perfect match I sense
The puzzles finally seem to have fallen in place
But as I draw closer
To the end of my crossword maze
I suddenly wonder
"Are these emotions simply playing in my fleeting mind?
Or do you also ready the subtle fugitive signs?"
