DESCRIPTION

People say that “love at first sight” is not real, but it

seems time has played me once more when I saw this
beautiful lady at a local salon yesterday. The word
beautiful does not even do justice to the beauty that she
has. In fact, she was like an enchantress who enchanted
my heart and soul.
 The first thing that really caught my attention as she
entered the door was her midnight-black hair that flowed over
her broad shoulders. The ceiling lamp’s bright light and the
elegantly fitted dress even intensified her arched waist. She
must be a goddess sent from heaven, I thought to myself. Her
bow-shaped eyebrows frowned slightly as she caught me
staring at her. I immediately turned my sight away from her.
Her joyous personality really showed while she was talking
with her friend, who was comfortably seated at the corner.
 When she walked past me, her lavender-scented
perfume tantalized my nose, as if it would bleed anytime
soon. Then, she flashed to me her luminous, pearl-white
teeth as she reached for her seat. The nude lipstick that
covered her oxbow lips matched perfectly with the
fuschia dress she was wearing. If it’s really true, then it
might have been love at first sight.
