The sputter of the rain drops
Reminds me of those days
Standing at the bus stops
Looking at your ways

Surly I didn't know you
But you acted like you did
Waiting for the bus in queue
You always sat in the mid

By the favor of gods, it started to rain
This one day we both missed our train
Soaked with shivers he moved closer
My name is "Sid" and am not a stalker

We talked abit until my next train
He gave me his work card
And walked away in the rain

Everyday became same
But not always did it rain
He assured he wasn't playing a game

Days to weeks, months to years
Distance grew shorter
And so did our fears

The love between us grew
As the wedding bells rang
But happiness lasted minutes of few

The suicide bomber ran into us
Bang and blast all was gone
You and me again in the same bus

A thought of fear glanced at my view
A panic dream that was not true

Vows exchanged, he wore a smile
Seven years now...
                                 and we've walked quite a mile...
