Wind breaks my pane
And the rain pours in..
I watch entranced, drenched
My tea gets sipped
My room is showered
And I stay
Unperturbed
Wasn't it like this?
When we walked under an umbrella
The first time ever
Awkward teenagers
Mindful of personal distance
So near yet so far..
And then when across continents
Our currents drifted
So far yet so near
Remember, darling?
A story across cities
Countries and continents
Three years and a decade
You emptied me
I exhausted you
Wind breaks my pane
And the rain pours in..
You break my heart
And the tears pour in..
My teacup is dried
My walls are down
I left
Broken a lifetime over
Do you miss my mind..
My heart, my soul?
Does your tea smell
Like my memory?
Does it loiter sketchily
Like awkward teenagers
Under an umbrella?
Does it zoom away
Like a bullet train?
Does it zigzag
Like a moped..?
Does it taste rich
Like camel milk sweets?
Does it scare sweetly
Like a kid in a park?
Does it matter?
Does it not?
Rain brings in the pane
You bring in the pain
My kettle boils again
The tea aroma drenches
A silent tear crawls
Don't look back
Unperturbed,
Pick it up and
Sip my memory
Let it steal into
That cup of tea
