the Storm stopped and waited for Us

 the Clouds lingered
to wait for you and I

and then it rained with
a flow of energy that I

would never forget, like
your body absorbing the

consciousness held in each
atom. I held on knowing

this time brighter, this
time stronger, this time

Ours. who seemed so
alive at that positivity

but you and I? the
Year christened 'now'

offered but a slice of
the pi that consumed

our world; where super-
ficial attraction lingered

sweetly out of reach;
we no longer needed,

we no further quest-
ioned, we no more

waited; We now were
bonded, O you and I.
