June

The wait is over. You're finally here! I missed you so much. You told me that patience is a virtue and that I would definitely meet you again, but the wait would be bitter.
You left me drenched in the rain and I remember running behind you, telling you to stay. You smiled and held my hand, telling me to be brave and strong until you returned. I looked on wistfully as you walked away, with your touch still lingering on my fingers.
It wasn't very pleasant without you ; the trees feigned their happiness by staying green and the birds tweeted their notes of pain. Your impatience was what had made me love you but you left me numb, longing for more. Did time really pass by so fast?
Absence makes the heart fonder but presence elates the soul. And there you were, waiting to wash me over with your love as I was writing songs about you. You tiptoed into my room and flung your arms around me and I was flooded by the times we shared together, the moonlit nights and the occasional outbursts of your temper over my stupidity. I wrapped you around myself like a creeper and my heart overflowed with love. We stayed huddled to each other until the night was lit up by innumerable stars, showing us that it was our destiny to be entwined in each other's lives.
I fondly call you June and you look naughtily at me, with mischief sparkling in your dazzling eyes which threaten to drown me in their depths of blue. You asked me to dance with you and I obliged.
As we slowly grooved to the music, with the smell of freshly brewed coffee engulfing us, we exchanged promises of love and fell asleep in each other's arms.
As I watch you sleeping, I know that you will leave me again, wounded, crushed and devastated. Maybe we can't change fate. Maybe we can't shape our lives. Maybe it's how it's meant to be.
You surprised me by waking up and hugging me. It's then that I realized that no plan works without errors and love doesn't have meaning without pain.
As you get up and look at the clouds and smile, I wonder to myself , ' Oh June. If only you knew how much I missed you.'
