Week 2

The rain outside
took me back to India
in the middle of the monsoons.
It was late at night,
too late to stop thinking of you.
I remembered a song you sent me,
it was about having faith
and I listened to it too.

Being in love with you
requires a lot of listening,
waiting,
watching.
Too much so,
but it is too late to forget.

So I let the rains take me back to India
and the song take me back to you.
Maybe in an alternate life
things would have been easier for us two,
and I would have been married in Ireland
living life with you.
