Good bye – Amidst the rain

Then begins the downpour
And people run to shelters
Their feet evading the puddles
Hands above their heads

I gaze at the changing sky
Blue,Gray and Dark all it’s shade
The puffs of cloud that seem to fly
And the little light starts to fade

A bolt’s the golden zari
For the white puffs of cotton
Lightning,thunder and all other fuss
In another five minutes..it’s all done

I walk forward,trying not to glance
Avoiding attention, I’m all finesse
Or so I think, from your stance
And stroll further, friends at arms

I decide to go back home
When I hear a voice
“How about some fresh juice?”
I smile and nod, I have no choice.

Words become superflous
Smiles act as e-mails
The heart beats fast and hard
Even my most disinterested look fails.

Over water melon and kiwi juice
I say nothing but look at you
You return me the favour
With not a glance as cue

“I’ll pay the bill” I say
You let me do it
And walk further near the car
And clammer about to sit

It rains again
The wipers go on full effect
The taste of the refreshing juice
Still lingers as I suspect

Suspect…that I miss you
So much that I’m afraid to admit
Suspect…that the less I speak
The more I think..and the more I love

I get down at my place
The rain still lashing wild
My eyes start welling with tears
As though I’m a child

“Good bye”
A word I say aplenty each day
But today it seems sordid
Synonymous with regret and worry.

Your eyes pore into mine
The rain reaches it’s zenith
The wind clears eveything nearby
But it’s you who’s swept me off my feet

Strange how I hit you
When you hugged me
Strange how I walked off
When you spoke to me

But i’ll tell you why now
I cant bear the farewell
I cant stand it
I hate the pompous “Good byes”
I’m no party to it

It’s simple-”Don’t go”
Technology- go to hell!
Why must i IM you?
I dont want to call your cell
Or use facebook!

All I want is you……..
But I find myself in the rain
Saying “Take care ”
I’ve gone a level above just pain

An hour later, I’m watching TV
You’re on the way to the U.S
But I still cant say “Good bye”
I miss you

I’ve heard of lines
“The heaven is shedding tears as rain!”
Hell..yes they’re cheesy
And definitely cringe worthy

But…..I wont cry for you
I’m strong…
You choose to go…
And I’ll accept it….

“Good bye”
