Remembrances

Where did you go?  You left me behind.

The confetti of love and care

which showered when you took me in your refuge

the shelter from rain when the weather bared

and sang a painful prelude

But your hand held mine and it all seemed right

Then, where did you go, when the sun shone bright?

This monsoon, the pattering of rain drops on the skin

did not seem soothing enough

From under your shelter I would pull my hand out

and feel the weather so rough

You'd pull me in again and keep me safe

from the weather unkind.

Tell me, where did you go? You left me behind.
