Under the red umbrella

It's written by me as a part of Mag80 (Magpie Tales) and Thursday poets rally 51!

From morning till night i had the thought of you in my mind.
I left the doors of my feelings open to let reach you.
Staring outside the window from my workplace i saw,
the air was moist as the rain splashed about in happiness.
I waited for the evening and ringed the bell of your door,
had a surprise in my hands, 
which not before you to anyone could be told.
The red umbrella under which i longed your company too,
was left melancholic as the door was not opened. 
I peeked through the windows and thought to sneak in to,
But you were not interested and i was afraid of the truth.
I left my bicycle so you would know,
that i waited whole night just if you would go.
Go with me to where i had surprises for you,
and open the bag that had a secret to be told.
The night passed and the damp soil said to me,
"walk along now and try once again this evening!"
I left that place again to come back,
to have you right beside me here. 
Here under my red umbrella all glad.

I like this. Filled with the hopefulness and hopelessness of love and our yearning for it. Well done. Nice write!

Very sincere poem.
It was lyrical in description,
the imagery was strong.

I liked it. Good Job.
