Your erect posture
Beside me
Gazing my eyes persistently
Or perhaps imagining the shape of my lip
Your eyes could stipulate it,
Very well
.
When the rain got heavier
You, still standing here
Close to me
As I was preparing to be off
You not liking the idea of it; maybe
.
Yet I asked for umbrella
When you replied with,
“Ah I like the rain”
Which was ‘my’ favorite phrase to say
And ‘you’ remembered it very well
Knowingly or guess unknowingly
.
I knew you could see me blush
Behind the mask
I wanted to say,
“I like you even deeply now”
Yet, I knew you were well known already
.
The realization hit later
After signing off, at a junction
When rain stopped instantly
‘Oh! It rained just for us’
I was sure this time
You’re a fortunate serendipity
