A " Seasonal" Office Romance

It was March 1st, the beginning of spring,
her first day at work.
She timidly walked in through the door
dressed smartly in a crisp white shirt and black skirt
A fresh post graduate, not over twenty four.

He looked erudite with his spectacles
He was 27, a strapping young man,
knowledgeable and experienced,
He was the organisation's right hand.

It was love at first sight for him,
the instance on her he laid his eyes.
He hoped she didn't notice,
his loving gaze, she didn't realise.

Her eyes met his,his eyes met hers.
He had evaded love for so long.
" Oh no, it can't happen " he thought,
"  I can hear violins playing a sonnet,
a beautiful love song!" 

But as luck would have it,
Cupid had in this story a pivotal part to play.
She was seated at a desk opposite him,
just a meter away.

Thus their story began,
though spring ended in a doleful way.
Their eyes would do the talking,
but their mouths had nothing to say.

He would look up from his computer
and give her a sly smile.
She'd smile back coyly,
and pretend she was busy,
going through the accounts file.

Then one bright summer morning he mustered the courage,
walked up to her and asked her out on a date.
He said " Let's have a cup of coffee after work
Don't worry, I won't keep you out late."

They went out for a cup of coffee at 7,
to the cafe a few blocks away.
The evening was filled with coffees  and conversations,
realization hadn't dawned on them....
it was the start to a brand new day.

And these meetings happened often
at cafes,  at the theatre, at the park near the sea
till they realised they were deeply in love
and together forever, they were meant to be.

One fine day, he proposed, she accepted,
and they got married on the last Sunday in December.
Whoever thought that, that an office romance that started in spring,
would  end in an official Marriage,
in  winter.
