It was our first date, though unintentional
I remembered how you were amazed by the singers, perhaps it was your first time watching a live performance of that movie
The show was yet to be over, and you had to leave yet so soon
I followed you down the stairs, walked with you through the stepping stones and the glowing streetlights, hearing you banter about the different colors of personalities in our separate classrooms

And finally we sat on a bench; it was still 9 pm 
Yet two of us were there merely, as if the bright lampposts designed the night to be spent by our chattering alone, on the bench
We talked mostly, though, about our classmates, and the worries about what they call the social students. 
And when the time came, you told me to hide when the time came
It came in a silver sedan, thinking that you came to watch the show alone
We never said good-bye since that day. I saw you more often since that day though
and you finally, got someone else to sit on the bench with more often

However, it was a sweet night. Your smile that persists as you hold your phone to capture the singing, the banter, the bench, the unintentional date, 
"I will remember this day", I thought, after you zoomed into that silver sedan
And I do, 6 years later, with a smile
Creating this music for you
