Rain kisses

  

When the first drop fell on my face

It took a couple of decades from me

I closed my eyes and smiled to myself

Not caring that my designer suite is drenched

The first rain which caught us together

Amid the deserted paddy field

We ran with all might to beat the rain

Alas! The rain caught up with us!

First on the hand which covered our head

Then it fell on our shoulders and back

We stopped running and I turned to her

She stood there looking at my eyes

I closed my eyes still seeing her clearly

Lifted my face towards the sky

Each drop on my face was a soft kiss

Kisses which made me calm and hot

Cannot remember how long we stood there

Her soft touch brought me back to reality

I saw the most beautiful smile on her

I bent my head and kissed her forehead

The fury of rain drops had subdued to drizzling

We slowly walked back hand in hand

That first rain made me see my soul mate

I wowed, I will keep her always near me

In the mad race to conquer heights

We took different roads and drifted apart

Unexpected rains which catch up with me

Always reminds me of that first kiss.

Wish I know where she is now,

Hope and pray that she is happy always;

Each rain drop makes me wonder

Would the rain bring to her my love too?
