Vintage Love Song by Bidisha P. Kashyap

Dusty journals of happy lovers and treasured memories
Of shy coffee dates
“Sudden” meetups in the library
Of walks by the lake
And long drives admist the citylights
Stories of stolen glances during Philosophy lessons
And leaving of love notes by each other’s benches
Of grandma’s soft yet exotic fashion sense
To her stunning performances in school theatre plays
Grandpa’s cinema dates awaited every Friday
And the promises of meeting up for ice-cream treats every Sunday
Of playing-your-favourite-song-out-of-your-window apologies
And matching tattoos on their anniversary
From partners in crime to high school sweethearts
And promising promises to eternity

Old Polaroids lay scattered on my grandparent’s bed
As they reminisce their youth
I smile at my double texts which still remain unseen
Only if I had met you in the 70’s.
