STRANGERS

As strangers  ,we met alone  on a dark summer night,

The streets were empty ,it was  raining all the while ,

I remember till today ,you sighed  on seeing me alight ,

Your charm compelled me to give you a winsome smile .

Holding my hand ,you escorted me to the roadside cafe ,

I felt awkward and very shy ,wanting to go away ,

Sensing my fear you said you wanted me to stay ,

I felt numbed and  just didn't know what to say .

Looking at me, "care to have some coffee ", you said,

With great difficulty I looked down and  nodded my head  ,

Staring at each other in silence we sipped it  slowly ,

The warmth of your company , made me feel very cozy ,

Time flew by very fast ,now we had to part ,

Why was I feeling  a seething pain in my heart ?

Footnote :-

This is a Petrarchan sonnet form of two fused quatrains and two fused tercets composed in a rhyme scheme.
The interesting part is that each  line is composed of 10 syllables .
