RAINDROPS OF LOVE

You told me to meet you in the forest,
I followed.
There was dew beaded on the leaves,
or so I thought-
as the small drops
slid off the green faces
and plunged down to the earth,
until some strays
made their way into
and tangled themselves coolly
in my hair
like your kiss
on my lips,
and that's when I realized
that these were not just any drops,
these were raindrops of love
and you were just around the riverbend.
