On A Rainy Day

On a rainy day,

With the chill seeping into my bone,

I sit by the large window at my home.

Looking out at the drenched city below, 

I’ve never felt more alone.

My mind wanders into those lanes,

I thought I had barricaded long back.

I find myself thinking about you.

A bundle of memories I thought I had discarded, 

tumble out as they unpack.

I remember the night we had first kissed,

Under the awning of the tree that shielded us

From prying eyes and the gentle drizzle.

Passions running high, how I had wished that 

I could melt into your caress.

I remember it all,

The first kiss, the first touch, the first confession of love

The damp monsoons were spent cocooned in your arms

Entwined in each other, I felt warm even as the 

rains lashed from the skies above.

On this rainy day,

As I sit by the window with nothing but a blanket to keep me warm,

I watch the sodden world rush below me

And I wonder if you remember the moments we spent together 

in a long forgotten storm.
