Thunder were my thoughts | Sayantani Banerjee

The thunder rumbled, and scared you

Think if I told you the truth,

that it is what my inner thundering thoughts

Then it might have made you sad, which would in order break my heart.

Think if I told you the rain yesterday were my tears,

The tears of halt for another moment of life,

Until the moment we meet again.

It would have ceased on me, your eyes.

Think if I said that I didn't want you to leave,

That I didn't want the moment to end,

That the first rain with you was of resentment,

And not of joy.

I felt my half splitting off,

I felt the urge I felt before,

The urge of wanting to see you from near,

And now it's even more, for now I have truly loved you henceforth.

The wait will end soon in time,

But the longing in my heart will seem a decemvir

We will meet soon for sure,

But how will my heart store the absence of thy.

Think if you really could read my eyes,

Think if you really had the power to read mine,

Then long before you would have known,

That love for me arrived when I meet you anigh.
