All is well, so beautiful around,
Everything looks so new.
The thunder roars, the first rain falls,
Makes me remember you.
My love for you, as soothing as rain,
That washes away the summer heat.
I used to pray we live, laugh and love,
As long as our hearts beat.
The smile of yours, those wet dark hairs,
Tell me how not to crave.
The love for you, the pain for your love,
I’ll take with me to my grave.
The breezy wind, so cool so moist,
Like the flying scarf of yours.
That voice you had, was even sweeter
Than the melody of rain pours.
When you were near, so good was all,
Life was so full of boon.
Summers, winters were jealous of us,
There was eternal monsoon.
I still feel those days by me,
As I see the rain.
The romance of the downpour
So overwhelms my brain.
Emotions though beat intellect by miles,
And I listen to just my heart.
The first rain of the season still
Makes me wish we were not apart.
But oh nostalgia, it makes me cry,
Makes my heart so sore.
I put down my pen in the pain of love,
As the nimbus clouds roar.
