Each of my poems has a story behind them. I will try to be as truthful here as possible about each of them.
Those were the initial days of my job at a firm in Chennai, this was sometime on 2003. There was this girl who sat next to me during my training, we spent 4 weeks together in that room getting trained on SAP. There were 25 others in that class, but then to her I lost my heart.. best training ever - I was at my attentive best.
One day I asked her what music she liked and she said, 'John Mayer'. I never heard of him until then, I smiled like I knew. The next day I went and bought 3 of John Mayer CDs (the store had only 3) and listened to ONLY those for the next several days. :) I never liked any of them. But I learnt several of his songs by heart .. mostly that one .. 'your body is a wonderland'.
This is a what I wrote the 3rd day after I returned home:

This is a what I wrote the 3rd day after I returned home:
I have been searching the world over
Or was I not… I have never
felt this way…
I have been looking for you…
Or
was I not… I have never felt this way…
Until I saw you… But have we met…
May
be not yet…
Now That I know you … My Love
..
Know me and my heart
And don’t let it fall apart
I was so in love.. I was inspired to write so many more, until one day I fell in love again. This time again it was just as truly, deeply, madly... as ever.
Looks like a lot of girls happened in your life ;). I totally agree that they end up being inspiration for many of the expressions.
