To my alluring raindrop !
I hope this letter finds you in your best ! It is valentine's day today and I can't help but be drifted away to that one moment when we met for the first time. Do you remember that day?
"As the clouds burst open and down came the elixir of life, two souls united under the divine bliss of the November rains.
And we were drenched in this beautiful sensation called love"
I knew it right then, deep in my heart, that I could look past the name society had for us - lesbians.
My life was a colorful rainbow in your presence and it is a fierce storm where am drowning from the weight of your absence from my life.
It was a silly fight.
A random outburst of emotions.
Words spoken. Wounds inflicted.
And now I am where I am.
Back to that water deprived barren land, whose worth was magnified when you tended to it and made into a bright day pasture.
So here I am, writing a letter to you on this special day submerged in the pleasant loveliness this air is filled with, while I wait with bated breath, for your warm embrace and that gentle shower of love.
Is it a sin to love? Maybe yes. Love is a sweet pain. Bitter sweet maybe. But love above all is a beautiful pain. It's eternal and deep. And looking back, I can only remember all the good memories associated with us.
Remember those times:
When we walked past those jasmine scented lanes hands intertwined, so comforting to know that am holding hands with my esteemed.
When we laid down in the smooth green lawns, so lost in each others gaze,
our lips never wanting to part,
my eyes shining of love,
reflected in the deep brown of yours.
When we went on these long drives,
the silence so entrancing yet so comforting,
your eyes on the road and mine on you,
that crooked smile never leaving your lips.
When we made love under the moonlight,
the moon as scarred as our souls,
the stars burning in envy,
as we stayed entwined in each others arms.
When we stood hand in hand,
the wildest tempests testing our bond,
the waves lapping at our feet,
your lips embracing my forehead,
I knew I have been taken for a lifetime.
When you chased me down those tracks,
garnering weird glances from strangers,
we were a happy ending waiting to be written about.
When our hands worked in perfect syncrony with the keys of the instrument,
never before had I felt so much bliss...
we were an art that was never drawn.
When we created magic with the words,
our worlds tumbling together over the magnificence of Yeats and the sheer audacity of Jane Austen as you read to me those beautiful lines of poetry.
When you would wash away my insecurities and concerns with that carefree laugh of yours,
rest assuring my faith !
The air I breathed, the reflection of my smile in the mirror, the lies I spoke, that secret shirt I still treasure like my priced possession...
Every bit of my life was filled with you.
Oh what wouldn't I do to undo the past and take away the hurt in your eyes, when I exposed you to my sharp words of weapons?
What wouldn't I give to be able to meet you in that bunny costume you so much liked, if only to see those brown eyes light up with a delighting smile?
So now, it's me thread bare ,
swallowing my pride and going down on my knees, asking for a second chance !!
Will you be able to do it for me???
Save me and redeem me from this everlasting pain, for our unfinished story of our life is waiting to be completed.
Yours Forever !
Dated till the rains reach this parched land.
