Heavy Rains

I still search for you

Amidst the heavy rains,

Hoping that perhaps one day,

I find you once again,

Drenched in those heavy droplets,

A little bit cold, perhaps,

Cold enough to shiver you, and,

Amidst your chattering teeth,

Through them,

I hope to find your smile,

Once again, that very one,

Which used to spread,

A known warmth, 

All across my heart, brightening,

My entire being. 

I still search for you, 

Near the muddy puddles,

Filled to the brim with 

The recent rains, some of them,

Overflowing with the new droplets,

I wish I could see you there,

Splashing water all around,

Jumping in there, all the while,

Your mesmerizing laughter,

Resonating through the air,

I hope I could once again,

Hear you calling out my name,

Beckoning to me, 

To join you in those puddles.

I look out for the dark clouds

In the distance,

I wish I could bring them

Any closer, for, the rains they bear

Are the only remnants perhaps,

I have of you.
