Jab we met....jab we parted

***Attempt at telling a story in rhyme***
***Warning: Somewhat long***
***This is all imaginary stuff in here :)***

The journey

I remember vividly,
How it all started.
How, packing bags hurriedly,
To the station I darted.

Huffing and puffing,
The train I caught.
Though the journey was uneventful,
What was to follow was surely naught.

The symposium

A grand opening to the symposium it was,
From the countries corners, visitors had flocked.
Representing my school, I was there too,
And as yet unknown to me, so were you.

The meeting

Twas twilight soon,
I remember twas the full moon.
Girl, I even remember the day,
Twas the 5th of May.

Roaming at night with my pals,
I chanced upon you;
You were with your group of gals;
They were pretty lasses too.
But, from the start,
My heart beat just for you.

The days I wish could forever last

Furtive glances and smiles were exchanged,
When our paths would "accidentally" cross,
And with the passing days,
We came to love each others ways.

The talks shared under the starry skies,
The walks taken in the moonlight,
The moments of laughter,
Of pure fun, of pure joy...

Jab we parted

But, alas,
When do good times ever last,
And much too soon for our liking,
It was time for us to part.
Solemnly did we goodbye bade,
And promises to keep in touch were made...

With moist eyes and a heavy heart,
I dragged myself to the station,
And the train I caught.
Though the journey was uneventful,
What had just happened was surely naught.

(I guess 'jab' means 'when' or 'during') I came up with some phrases..
"Jab We Met... Jab You Left..."
"Jab those countless phone calls... Jab that last phone call"
"Jab we missed each other... Jab i miss you"
"Jab we shared everything... Jab i cry alone"
"Jab we loved each other... Jab i love you"
