A rainy day...

It was a day to remember,

It was a time to feel...

When we first met & saw each other,

Together our hearts were meant to seal.

One monsoon afternoon in August,

She walked into the fair...

Along with a coy smile, blue angelic eyes,

Luscious lips & rich hair...

She approached my stall,

To glance at my books...

While I stood gaping sheepishly,

At her radiance & looks.

When she finally saw my face,

And landed her eyes over mine...

I stood speechless & scared,

Too nervous to even tell her - "I'm fine".

She immediately saw into my mind,

And sensed my looming fear...

I felt like a sinking ship,

Unable to sail & unable to steer.

As the evening grew dark,

The rain fell strong & hard...

Her friends called her to return,

And she stepped back a yard.

She needed to leave,

And I wanted her to stay...

But who was I to stop her,

This sparkling sunshine ray.

Just before she left,

She dropped her silk stole...

She only glanced at my blank face,

But for me, it made a deep heart hole.

I treasured her stole,

All these years, all this time...

I still wonder if she remembers me,

As the guy who looked like a mime.

Today's rain looks a lot similar,

It took me back to that day...

When I wished to tell I love her,

When I wished to not let her go away...
