IT RAINED!!

As a respite from the soaring heat, it finally rained yesterday. Arrived with an air of inevitability.Felt like it was lurking around in the shadows for a while before it eventually lashed out. Did nothing to recede the heat of the blistering afternoon of the very day it brought about the much needed respite though, walked in with a pace that could only be compared to that of a soldier fighting a war that shouldn't have started. Marched in, did the required job and never returned home. The irony of listening to Rain by Breaking Benjamin at the same time (thank god for phones with music players!) didn’t go missing. The name of the song was probably the only thing common between the rain, which had settled into a drizzle, and the song.

“Rain, Rain go away
Come again another day
All the world is waitin’ for the sun”
Hearing Benjamin Burnley sing these words,couldn’t help but think how much I wanted the receding rain to stay for a while longer,to be able to hold on to the drops in my palm which would slowly skirt away through the gaps btween the fingers, to be able to
“To lie here under you
Is all that I could ever do”.

But it stopped, as suddenly as it had come. Left without a glance behind. What stayed behind was the wind, which didn’t carry the fierceness but a pleasantness that could flutter hearts. Couldn’t help but wonder about how nature works. Gives us heat that tears us apart and then soothes it with something so serene. Much like how humans work, no? Break you down and then fix you.
