The rain

The rain falls down over the scene
And all I can do is watch.
The wonder of it all brings a smile to my lips
And I think of you.

The cold of the rain permeates my skin
And I can feel it soaking my soul.
My icy heart is slowly becoming uncovered
To welcome you in.

With my eyes closed, I breathe slowly
In and out, with long breaths.
The world around me begins to blend together
But I see you still.

The rush of it all is astounding,
But it's time to go inside.
Slowly and soberly
I reach the door.

I turn around for a moment
To see if it's all still real.
But the ghost of you is fading
Into the rain.
