In your arms,
I can still feel the way you want me when you hold me
I can still hear the words you whispered when you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms

And there ain’t no way
I’m lettin’ you go now
And there ain’t no way
And there ain’t no how
I’ll never see that day

’Cause I’m keeping you forever and for always
We will be together all of our days
Wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face
Always

In your heart,
I can still hear a beat for every time you kiss me
And when we’re apart, I know how much you miss me
I can feel your love for me in your heart

And there ain’t no way
I’m lettin’ you go now
And there ain’t no way
And there ain’t no how
I’ll never see that day

(’Cause I’m keeping you...)
Always

In your eyes,
I can still see the look of the one who really loves me
The one who wouldn’t put anything else in the world above me
I can still see love for me in your eyes

And there ain’t no way
I’m lettin’ you go now
And there ain’t no way
And there ain’t no how
I’ll never see that day

(’Cause I’m keeping you...)
(I’m keeping you...)

I’m keeping you forever and for always
I’m in your arms

Where the rain is born

Went to the Pages book shop. Luckily came over "Where the rain is born", edited by Anita Nair and published by Penguin Books.

The book is a collection of short stories, essays, poems and extracts on Kerala from published works of different renowned writers. The writers include Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai, O.V.Vijayan, M.T.Vasudevan Nair, Arundhati Roy, Kamala Das, Alexander Frater, and others.

Read a few lines from the book. Loved it. Bought the book without any second thoughts. Hope the ongoing monsoon rains continue till I finish this book.
