I waited in the park for long <br />She wanted me to be there <br />I watched the cranes fly back <br />even they wanted to get home before its dark <br />As for me, i could wait the whole night for her <br />and then, from the shadows of a dark evening <br />she emerged, as lovely as ever <br />i checked the red rose inside my jacket's pocket <br />it was as live and fragrant as it was before <br />she approached me with that ever beautiful smile <br />and asked me whether she was late <br />i lied to her she was right on time <br />better late than never, right? <br />i looked into her lovely brown eyes <br />the naughty glitter was always there <br />i zipped down my jacket half the way through <br />took the bloody red rose in my hand <br />leaned towards her extending it to her. <br />i said 'For u, in the name of my love' <br />She took it in her hands <br />i had my eyes fixed on hers <br />she looked at me and said'yes, I do love u' <br />A single tear appeared in my eye <br />the skies grew darker. <br />was it the dusk or the clouds? <br />we had our eyes locked <br />broken by a abrupt loud thunder <br />and then the heavens showered on us <br />their wishes and their tears <br />Yes, it rained that day! ! ! <br />we ran for the covers <br />our hands locked in a clasp <br />we got under the tree <br />we waited there for the skies to pour off <br />the grip never getting any loose <br />she looked at me <br />her eyes telling me, its getting late <br />i told her i'd walk her home. <br />by then the downpour turned into a drizzle <br />we walked hand in hand along the roadside <br />how romantic, it rained that day! ! ! <br />And then playing spoilsport <br />the alarm started ringing <br />with my roommate screaming at me to shut it down <br />I got up from my slumber <br />scampered for my mobile shutdown the alarm <br />I looked out of the windows <br />wishing the dream would be true <br />The sky was dark and it started pouring <br />dejavu! ! ! , and it is raining today too <br />Yes, it was a dream too good to be true <br />but, it rained that day...<br /><br />Ranjith Vijayan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-rained-that-day/
