Suddenly it started drizzling

Rest of the couples sought shelter

But we kept dancing, oblivious

We spoke the unspoken

Through our eyes

Was it the glimmer in her eyes

Or was it the shower laminating her skin

She presented a picture of beautifully shredded being

We came out of our reverie

When it started raining heavily

She ran and stood near the staircase

Waiting for me

But I didn't

I stood there under nature's fury

Extending my hand

She came back

And we kissed

Like two famished souls

Wishing and desiring to love

And live again

We went back to my room

And sat wordlessly for half an hour

Trying to fathom the turbulent feeling

And that night set the onset of a beginning

I never knew what I was getting into

She was struggling to get out of an abusive relationship

And I had gone through a break up.
