started with a “hi”, she smiled
he asked for her name
they started hanging out
for casual coffees, which turned to dinners
he asked her , she said yes
she loved his gifts, enjoyed his presence
in few months
he had to leave, she said goodbye
with tears and hugs, they were apart
he sent her gifts,
for the months he missed
he came back after six months
saw her with another man
smiling the same way she did
and so happened to the
tale of twelve gifts
depressed and lonely
back he went
hoping she would come back
which she never did
she was the girl who left
with the twelve gifts
