After You Left

Rain

Before you, the rain only meant one thing:

The loneliness of aching to be remembered.

But each time, it washed me away

Like mud on the bottom of a shoe.

Now the rain is your smile

And those honey brown eyes

Maybe all we are is the moments

That linger in between thunderclaps.

Fleeting. Ephemeral.

An infinity that never seems to last a lifetime.

And I'd kill for just one kiss,

Just one touch.

But if this is all that we are,

I'll remember you each day that it rains.

And every night without you

I'll smile through the pain
