What Is It About Rain?

listening to the rain and thinking about a special someone

what is it about rain
that makes me think of you?

raindrops plinking against my window
remind me - remind me
of the two of us, lying together
safe in your bed, listening
to the rain and our own breath
basking in the glow of our love

I remember that afternoon you kissed me
the rain fell down around us, but somehow
I managed to drown, not in water
but in your eyes, and in longing

even though you're far from me now,
the sun smiling on your face
I lie here listening to the rain
and I know somehow you hear it too
