Rain, Love, Wait and Verse

A sultry evening in the month of August. It’s dark and it’s Raining. A Love is waiting to meet her Lover. It’s taking long but Love is patient.

As Love waits, Love’s stomach Rumbles. It’s hungry and would like to eat, some croissants maybe. Love looks around, scans the area for stomach’s request. There are chips and snacks available. But stomach doesn’t want them so Love keeps looking. Love is not self-seeking. (in a way)

As the wait lengthens, Love notices something creeping-crawling on the ground. It’s a Roach! It’s limping its way, dazed in the rain, to another corner. Love is freaked at the sight of the Roach but lets it be. Love is Kind.

And as Love continues to wait under the shelter of a shop’s canopy, Love spots a Rat. A mighty big one. And Love lets this one go as well. Love always protects. (itself, in this case)

Lover is busy with work and though is trying to get out as early as possible, Lover can’t. But Love patiently waits, not complaining. Love always trusts and is not easily angered.

Love then has company in the form of some Roamers who take shelter under the canopy. There isn’t much space to accommodate all and Love feels a little uncomfortable. But Love perseveres in the wait for Lover. Love does not ask them to go away to ease the discomfort. Love is not rude.

And finally, Love rejoices as Lover arrives and the all waiting was now worthwhile. This was not the first time Love has waited for Lover but Love keeps no record of wrongs.

P.S. – This is based on a true story, made interesting (I hope) by me. Cherry, this one’s for you and boy.
