Perhaps it was best
Not to ask her to sit near me
What did that achieve? You ask
Not much, I'm afraid.
Thirty thousand feet above everyone
The first whiff of.. what?
Morning dew? Or was it her hair?
Who knows.
Perhaps there would be nothing
Never have been anything
Without that seat on the fated day
When whispers were exchanged about moments unknown.
Unknown, but new as a spring leaf
Those moments were water
Clear spring water
Pure, unbridled, merciful and merciless
Well, she sat
For a long time; there was talk
About things old and new
With whispers of things to come
Perhaps the invitation was my greatest mistake
Or the bloom of a new morning journey
I will never know; the moment has long passed
Perhaps it is best not to know.

Has shades of Eliot and Milton in it. A work of magic!
Overdone, Dhruv :P
But did you have sexy time?
Yeah.. tell us.. did you have a sexy time? :P
Big difference between sexy time and "a sexy time". Just saying.
Also how does it matter?
Haha, fun! Perhaps it is best not to know, yes.
@Dhruv: I'm curious, point me towards the Eliot and the Milton, if you so please :P
Hey, there.
well done! :) I like its simplicity and the raw appeal of a 'five minute fit'.
Keep writing!
Thanks :)
