One Hour

 "I walk a lonely road

The only one that i have ever known

Dont know where it goes

On its only lane i walk alone.."

 

I sang this to myself, as Boulevard of Broken Dreams raced through my head. Earphones plugged in, the sound defeaning, my whole body seemed to be moving to Green Day's most famous song. "Damn, its too hot tonight." Suddenly, the roaring music stopped, and there was a vibration in my left jeans pocket. I took my cellphone out, saw the name  'Home" being flashed, and ignored the call. I glanced at my watch and said, "Its only 7:30, give me a break. Am not getting back home this early."

 

My feet kept taking me this way then that, i myself unaware of the direction of my path. In the background, lightning streaked and i knew that after so many days, finally, my wish was about to come true. A gentle breeze started blowing as the genre of my songs changed from rock to emo. I felt the wind blowing across, blowing me away with it. I knew i had to let go, i knew i had to give in. There was no escape from the lusty mood that Nature was in.

 

Then, i felt it. Slowly and slowly, water was dripping. No, not from any window sill, but from the window of the sky. I was adamant on getting all wet. All around, people were taking cover from Nature's most violent form, but i silently walked into it. It started drizzling, and i felt a new wave taking over me. I looked around, not a single passer-by. There i saw in the distance, people taking shelter under a shop, but i didnt do so. Because i didnt belong to "them", i was on my own.

 

It started raining heavily, and i knew my mission was achieved. Soaked from top to bottom, i could feel myself giving in to the rain. And then, a silent realisation. I closed my eyes, and said, " I love you.." And then i felt you, taking my hand in yours, and i knew, i wasnt alone. You whispered in my ears, "I love you too " and i felt myself flying. I tightened my grip on your hand, and you did the same too. Walking all alone, on an empty road, soaked to the brim with our love, I knew it couldnt get any better. Walking hand in hand, with an aura of love protecting us from the complaining looks of people all around. But, they couldnt see you, because you were only with me. You were so far away from everyone, and yet so near to me. I could feel your breath upon mine, and i wanted to let go, but i knew that it would be wrong if we did so. No matter how much we loved each other, no matter how close we were to each other, our culture was what we lived by, and we couldnt suqash our values with just one act.

 

Slowly, the rain subsided, and at last it came to an end. I came back home, drenched not because of the rain, but with your love dripping from every part of my soul. I took out my cellphone and saw, it wasnt working.Of course it wouldnt cos it got drenched with me too! I put it under a fan, changed my clothes, but this one hour that i spent with you, you gave me memories of a lifetime. Thank you for these memories, and all i wanna say is I LOVE YOU!
