Wet Moon - Monsoon Memories

It started with a tiny drop

And then it started to pour

But we wanted to see each other

Temptation striking the core

In the pouring torrent

I reached the place all wet

Sitting there waiting for you

In the wonderful romantic set

You arrived five minutes later

Soaking wet but smiling wide

I could then see the love lorn man

As well as the innocent child inside

As we snuggled under the orange umbrella

Sipping our coffee piping hot

Your hand remained entangled in mine

Everything else then seemed the unnecessary lot

Our first tryst with monsoon shall always be the best

Where we were trying to understand the other

It was a steady ramp up since then

As the rain and love brought us together

The heavy rains continued to pour

It sure was a very wild season

Yet we couldn't stay a day apart

Getting caught in a downpour was not enough a reason

As we paddled our way through hours

An effort not once it did seem

Being together was the common goal

As we became the peers of our realm

Day after day we still met

In spite of the tearing and crying cloud

We didn't let anything stop us

Looking back now, I feel so proud

Be it standing under the shelter of a tree

Or you hurriedly zipping my jacket up

You've held me tight to prevent me from the chill

While I look cold like a lost wet pup

During last years rain, we were lovers

This time we get wet together as man and wife

As I watch you dance in the rain

I know God has given me the best ever life

Even though we had a mid summer wedding

Special shall remain the beautiful monsoon

The sun can shy away and hide

As you kiss me, under a wet moon
