The rain drips slowly on the softened window pane
The pitter-patter makes me remember again.
One year ago, we got into that car
But somehow, we never got very far
While driving along down a long, dark street
Your car and the tree just happened to meet
So as you slid out of control, your memories flashed
You had no idea that it would be her last
Holding onto the wheel as you tried to grasp
All that escaped from your mouth was a hollowed gasp
Swerving to the left and sliding to the right
You weren't sure if your were gonna see the next night
Holding onto a prayer, a hope, and a dream
Things are never what they seem
But you came out of the wreck alive
But you would never forget what you left behind
Because sitting in the seat was the body of a girl
Who just had her last ride in this world
You never knew that she was sitting there dead
You were more concerned about your throbbing head
So now you see what what rain can do
When you're driving too fast and drinking too
I shut my eyes and try to get rid of the pain
But I will never be able to hold you again
I should've gotten out of that car when I could
But you should've been sober like you knew you should
So sitting by your window pane
Is the only time I can look in your eyes again
For I'll float away and might never return
So I hope this lesson is one that you'll learn
Driving that way, you will never do again
Because you never know what might have been
Floating in the rain as I look for something whole
Reduced to nothing but this floating soul

not a true story... obviously...I'm still here
if you don't get it, She was the other one in the car when he crashed and she died. She comes back to check on him, but she never knows if she can come back to him or not...

Second - Rain Falls Down; By:Ciao.
Well, you have been a writer that I have been reading from for awhile now. You have some serious potential to go places with your writing. It keeps getting better with every write and I loved this one especially. It put a picture in my mind and not only a tear in my eye but actually made me break down in tears. It reminds me of something that happened to a few people I know. And it gets worse everytime. Thanks for entering this contest, you did an amazing job Hunnie.
