I Saw You First Through A Window Poem by Ivan Chizurum Ezeigbo

You
I know you don’t know
Or if you even remember
The first time I saw you
In a bus
Through the window

'Who are you? '
You asked, with a smile
I don’t think I replied
You were beautiful
Beautiful that I couldn’t reply
Before then, I can remember
How unprecedented that beauty was

“Jack? ”; “Jack, What are you looking at? ”
“Brother, I saw a girl through the window”
“What girl? ”
And we entered the bus
I lost control of my eyes
They were fixed on that one thing
The girl I saw through the window

I saw you first through the window, pretty
So you needn’t worry mention,
I’m sure I am silly too
Silly that I am in love with you
Silly as in so far in my dreams to be with you
And do all it takes to ensure
That I be with the girl behind the window

“No, no! ”
It’s weird, I know
But I won’t stop trying even so
You might never love me but it’s worth the try
To be with you at all cost, by and by
To love you and be in your arms everyday
To be with my better half
The pretty girl behind the window
