This Monsoon

This monsoon…

We’d walk again…

My arm slipping in yours

We’ll sing our favourite lines

My breath mingling into yours!

This monsoon…

We’d live the dreams we wove

Your eyes pouring into mine

Wind blowing away my hair

Twirling my dupatta into you!

This monsoon…

Would it be ‘Rimjhim gire sawan ‘

Or is it ‘Ek akeli chatri mein jab

‘Aadhe aadhe bheeg rahe the’

Or just ‘Choti si kahani se

‘Barisho ke Pani se!’

This monsoon….

We’d love like we never did

Drenched, soaked…with feelings deep!

Wash away inhibitions

And egoes too.

You and me… unplugged and raw!
