Analysis of At First Sight
It was the freshers day at the university,
I saw her in a dark blue saree,
With a blissful smile on her enchanting face,
Our eyes met, I felt a sudden feeling in my heart,
I was simply driven, With an enchanting feeling,
We exchanged glances,
I dared not to speak to her, And she too was feeling shy,
They call-'love at first sight',
It was only a feeling, a passing fancy,
Alas!, it left an enduring pain in my mind,
Of absolute rejection and deprivation.
