Rain 2

Snaking mercilessly down, the rain
Seeks to wipe out everything
From memory—both joy and pain.
And yet, I see you through the mist
Sitting in the dark; drenched
Under that Gulmohar tree
On that lonesome bench.

What makes you wait there love
In the cold; a figure lone
What makes me look for you there
In the dark; cold, tired, alone.
Love pushes me
To put my arms around you
Bring you home.
But I stand at the culvert watching you.
