A Drop Of A Tear

Just a tale of meeting once again and gaining back all those good days they have dreamnt of as husband and wife .It is all love's surprises...

Cornered in a crowded city bus
With face so charming yet worried
Her dark eyes placid and painful
She sat there like a frozen statue

Seven years before on a Valentine day
She met a man with sharp brown eyes
Eyes locked and mind intertwined
Days went by, not even a word spared

On a fine morning he sat beside her
In that corner seat, with smile so bewitching
Not hesitated when he invited for a talk
Sat in silence, though in haste to pour out

It was love at first sight, an instant sprout
Two hearts tuned into oneness
Sitting together there in that garden bench
They knitted lots of love’s knots.

Months went by, secretly signed the bond
As man and wife they started a new life
The day came when he left for the war
With tears of sorrow she bid him bye

Mails were frequent and calls even daily
But on a bad winter day everything stood still
Years went by, he never showed up
She waited with love’s own spark of hope

Today also Valentine day, she rushed to the park
Heart warmed with her lover’s thoughts
Sun was almost set and darkness spreading
She too dooming into the pool of hopelessness

Couples scattered everywhere in jolly mood
But she felt alone with tears restrained
She cuddled herself with her face buried
Blocking herself from the day’s hubbub

Someone shook her up, her eyes blurred,
Was she dreaming, she pinched to confirm
There stood her man with all his charm
Miracles do happen that is love’s magic

Eyes widened and heart wondering
She stood for a while, in sweet amazement
No questions asked she hugged him tight
A drop of tear oozed through her cheek
