Spectacles
He said to me “Sometimes I take off my specs, you see And without them on, I have no clue That the person waving at me is you!” “So if I don’t wave back or smile Don’t think I have any attitude or style And please please don’t you mind Don’t judge me as impolite and unkind” I replied smiling bright, “Don’t you worry! It’s quite alright! Now that you have explained I wouldn’t mind again!” “Maybe next time I will say ‘Hey!’ And wave wildly all the way So that you hear me at least Don’t wear specs for me, I insist!” And so the misunderstanding was cleared He didn’t overlook me as I had feared Just that it was me, he was unaware Coz of the spectacles he didn’t wear But why did he clarify this now? I liked him, did he come to know somehow? Is that why he needed to make sure That no hurt feelings I should endure?! Or was it an excuse to really ignore? Pretending to not see me any more No smiles to exchange, no twinkling eyes Igno
