When You’re a Season, and I’m the Rain – Delhi Poetry Slam

When You’re a Season, and I’m the Rain

By Khushi Agarwal

Never say goodnight first-
what if you still had something left to say,
but tucked it beneath silence anyway?

I always waited,
hoping your fingers would type my name
one more time before slipping away.

It would always be a dream..
of you choosing me again,
without doubt,
without delay.

Can we just hold hands and sit again?
No words, just warmth
on a quiet, tired day.

I don’t know what made you hate me,
but if we must break,
can we at least cry in the rain?

I wish I never liked you-
or that I could erase the pain.
No matter how long I wait,
the ache remains the same.

Every beep on my phone
still raises hope in vain…
But how could this change-
when you’re a season,
and I’m the rain?
