Niyati in the rain

I told you how beautiful you are, and you meekly smiled. I sent you a text explaining what a wonderful human being you are, and you sent a smiley and hit the back button. I sung a song that reminded me of you, and you laughed and flipped your hair causally, looking at me like I was amusing. I insisted I was not joking, and shaking your head, you brushed me away. So I am here hoping that here, you see as I see, you feel as I feel, witnessing yourself breathe, laugh, be a clown, struggle, wonder, get lost, try to hide everything beneath, fail, collect yourself together - a calm sea and a roaring sea alternating behind that veil - and simply existing.. See if only in these few, fleeting attempts that in all phases, in every mark, through your entire stretch of crusts and troughs, you are my beautiful. ** You might enjoy looking at the pictures while listening to this number. Hit play. :)
