Thoughts from a wanderlust

Fate changes people

I was the earth without the rain for almost two years,
And You were the rain,
Free and beautiful as I saw you drop slowly to the earth,
And I, I was a barren land finally getting some water,
Some love from you,
Plants slowly started to grow but never did I see you again,
They say scars make you grow and I believe that your smile made me grow instead;
