When you left
You became the rain.
You became my rain.
I held my face up to the clouds
The sky washed out with gray
And bruised with purple
It cried you down
Until you embraced my eyelids
Kissed my lips once more
Dripped down my torso,
Tracing every curve of my body.
When you left
It began to rain.
It poured into the streets
Where I danced wildly
Feeling you
Laughing with you
The passion of us colliding together
From your sky
To my earth.
When you left
It flooded.
I traced my fingers across the glass
Feeling the cool of your drops
Knowing this was as close as we'd come again.
I reach out
Feeling you soak into my skin
Watching you gather in the gutter.
Standing next to the stone
That marks where you sleep,
No…
Not sleep.
Where you left,
Where I left you,
The rain traces the letters of your name.
The water inspires the grass to green.
Your droplets gather on my arms.
I know, you're not coming back.
I know, you're gone.
I know that I will always love you.
You trace the outline of my lips
And I smile.
I hold my face up to the sky,
And a ray of sunshine breaks through
As the rain clouds begin to part.
