Beautiful Now

I sit beside the window,
Daring to get soaked,
The bus driving over bumpy roads,
Making me jump like a toad.

Seeing the droplets roll by,
It makes me hard to see,
People rushing to get shelter
Their happiness turning to glee.

The blurred images,
Seem to create a mystery,
beautiful mountains passing by,
A part of our rich history.

I open the window
feeling the drops on my face
Cold breeze gushing by
Blowing at a steady pace.

Isn't it beautiful?
I suddenly blurt out
The rains? Or you?
I get the soft reply

I turn around
To see my lover smiling
Blushing profusely
I reply smiling

The world I meant
Made beautiful with rains
Look at the beauty
Of the passing terrains.

His intense gaze on me,
he smiled
Looking at me lovingly,
he replied

And what if I say
That you're my pride
More beautiful
Than the world outside?

The rains continued
Splashing their way
But the love in his eyes
Surely made my day.

I leaned onto him
And he did the same
Both of us entangled
While it continued to rain.

And this is why
I love the rains
For it brings out
Love sans pain.

Cherish this moment
It won't come again
True love and true beauty
Brought out by the rains.
