Just you & me
On a rainy noon
Walking hand in hand
Under the wet umbrella
On an empty street
Just you & me
Surrounded by the trees
Dripping droplets
Of blessings and good wishes
To support our love
Just you & me
Away from the watchful eyes
Judging and sneering
Not understanding
That love has no gender.

DeleteThe tiwst in the final lines changed the whole perspective!
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for all such people who are judged for their choices. Wish the world has little more empathy to accommodate the difference.
