I know they say, never to accept a love proposal in the month of April because it might be another April fool. but have you ever thought of love in August?

It's the month of August, and as usual it's raining...

Huddled in my umbrella, rain falling in torrent.
I'm out in search for food. It's raining but man must eat.

It's August, it's raining, it's cold and I'm lonely.

walking in zig zag pattern. trying to avoid the rain drops which seems impossible; I bumped into a body.
Man or woman, I'm yet to find.
I lifted my head slowly, guess what I saw ? The most beautiful eyes I have ever seen .

I should be sorry for being careless but I'm too lost in his eyes to autter a word.
Are you alright? a voice spoke interrupting my inner thoughts. I'm good and I'm sorry I stuttered.

I basically ran away but it was as if I'm being chased by a pair of beautiful amber eyes. I see it and I feel it .
he's all in my head

Have i fallen for a pair of beautiful amber eyes or is it just the August thing?
love in August is the most insincere love anyone would propose.
it's raining and it's cold. so someone needs to someone to escape the cold.

But the amber eyes man is different. His scent filled my nostrils. he has the scent of earth mixed with rose.
Just how I love it.

I must be crazy but...

It's the month of August and it's drizzling...
I'm out on that spot waiting for the amber eyes man but he never showed up.
It's still August and I'm still waiting
Maybe I too could get a chance to experience love in August.
