Rain

How well you rhyme with pain

Some times, down the clouds

And sometimes down the eyes

Of a damn, dumb, in-love boy

And less frequently down the eyes

Of those lucky, with overflowing joy

For some, you are no sun

And for some, you are just fun

For me

You are one thing of the many

That reminds me of her

As I think

‘Will it raining at her place?

Would she be watching it?

Or getting wet

Or asleep

Or busy studying.

Would she be thinking of me?

Nay…nay…why will she think of me?

Who am I to her?

She doesn’t even find a good friend in me.

And why am I using the word good in front of friend?

Why do I love her than?

So much…

It isn’t her fault that she dislikes me.

I must be worth just that

It isn’t my fault either

I didn’t push myself in love

It just happened.’

Hey rain

Just imagine

You make me think so much of her

And as I am thinking

As if the outside wasn’t enough

You drop down my eyes

Then I laugh at my foolishness

What a life, what a mess

I wipe the drop off my face

And stare at you

Till you drop again.
