Raining
The rain keeps falling
Despite my destination.
Remember what you told me -
“The rain keeps falling.”
I cannot overtake you.
I want to feel you hold me -
The rain keeps falling.
I smell your scent around me,
I dream your arms enfold me -
The rain keeps falling.
I wish it would stop raining.
And how cold can the cold be?
The rain keeps falling.
I cannot see your picture -
I can’t remember
What you looked like -
The rain keeps falling.
My tears taste like the ocean -
A breath of wind against my face,
The scent of you, your warm embrace,
Your memory, you smile with grace,
My broken heart you heal, replace -
I want to feel you. Hold me.
