It's been raining today, all
day long.
The road looks like a lit-up river of twisty red and yellow lights.
I stare at the road, and think of Chara, a star, 26 light years away,
which would be seeing the 17-year-old
me, on a similar rainy day,
The light having finally reached there, only
today.
That rainy afternoon, you came by my
door.
I pulled you inside, into my arms. We fell on the bed,
Smiles merging into longing kisses, not a word said.
But you pulled back, my face in your hands.
You sat me down, nestled between your
legs,
My back to your chest your arms
circling me
'Let's talk today' you said with a
smile.
Your voice gentle. ‘Let’s talk of you
and me'
Of you and me. Of life and love.
Of dreams together. And dreams alone.
I have locked that afternoon, inside my
heart
hidden away from time, nestled in a
blue lace box.
On Chara......26 light years away,
I dip your arms again, nestled between
your legs.
My back to your chest, your arms
circling me.
Tomorrow, we shall meet again, on a
different star
And I will remain in your arms, nestled
between your legs.
My back to your chest, your arms
circling me.
Till eternity… long after the light
fades from earth.
