Love Poem: A New York Love Story

A New York Love Story

Two waiting for a train met. Instantly,
they found themselves the recipients of
a thing that neither thought they’d ever see -
that crazy thing “at first sight” known as love

They’d said their names to one another, yet
their last names they’d not given, when by chance
the girl got shoved and somehow could not get
aboard the train. She lost her new romance!

New York is a big city! Three years passed.
They searched, but neither found the other one.
Gloom was a cloud above them till at last,
the girl spied one wet day her ray of sun!

Right there in front of her, that young man stood.
It was as if their cloudy years of pain
were washed away forever. Oh, how good
they both felt in that sudden burst of rain!
