Kisses in the rain

By Dhrvp Chand

It's been raining all day— only a few people are about.

A chilly wind is blowing; no-one wants to come out.

The lights are soft, orange.

You wait, alone, in the rain.

Your eyes shine, you smile, you're happy.

You know today he will come again.

The sky is dark and gloomy, cold; and the rain comes down and down.

People hide beneath umbrellas and move about the town.

You stand in a mac, in the wind and rain, your hair is wet, but you do not mind.

And as you walk along the wet pavement, your footsteps and your troubles are left behind.

Light walk, happy walk, walk through the rain.

Dreams in the water, so wonderful today.

You whom I don't know, you who don't know me; you dream of someone now not far away.
