Rain and My Lovely Memories

Whenever I see the sky pouring raindrops

My body swirls as if it’s balancing some imaginary hula hoops 

I dance with immense joy as if I am set free from some bondage

Actually just watching rain my romanticism just accelerates 

It was during one such rainy day when I first saw you 

I was balancing my umbrella in the storm and you almost drenched came to me and asked,

”Can I join you”

Both of us completely drenched enter the cafe coffee day

And the romantic season, coffee and the ambiance just ensured we met every day

Riding bikes in rain, going on long drives, parking car just to dance in the rain,

Well the rain and love made me lot me crazy and we danced till our feet gave up

We rejoiced both speaking for hours and our long silent break,

And in no time we were celebrating our 1st anniversary and cutting cake

We forgot about the world as we were lost into each other totally 

So eventually we broke the news to our family

As angry as raging storm were our family because we belonged to different community 

But it’s a known fact that love has no reason and no boundary

Love doesn’t always mean holding on to each other but also to set free 

Also not knowing how the future would have looked like had we ended together adds a little mystery 

Realizing that some people are just part of our journey and not a destination 

And even though our families thoughts were quite banal still we decide to part ways peacefully 

Several years have passed by and everything is just a beautiful memory now 

Still every time it rains, it feels the earthy scent has got mixed with his heavenly fragrance

When I rush to look out, all I see are the beautiful droplets and hear the melodious tunes

Then all I do is dance and balance the imaginary hula hoop
