rain

I want to feel the rain on my skin—
the way it lands on the palm of my hand;
so warm yet gentle,
the way I remember your touch feeling.

I want you to hold me the way the wind
holds the orange and yellow leaves in
the cold October weather,
almost like it's afraid of letting go.

I want your heart to know it loves me,
like I'm the nerves that light your face red
and the hairs on your skin that stand;
I want you to want me
the way rain wants to pour.
