After the Rain

Raining, pouring rain doesn't seem to stop It gives way to appear it won't let up soon One mind dyed black with depression no lesson needed, no lesson appreciated only one confession He only wishes she, she of all people his mystery, his affliction, his severance set would see the truth imbued with the scent of her smell in his jacket he...he.... can't utter another word as the headstrong wind tugging at his back threatens to slay him with shards of glass if he dares to turn around not when there's someone he needs to see Frozen in time, he there stands a few feet across from her the last drop of rain fell in the center of them like it was waiting on a cue and all he wanted to do was turn, run this wasn't it, she wasn't...her she wasn't...she...she... but he just couldn't move The clouds dispatched and the sun cast its gaze upon the vacant spot where it wished for them to stand The wind, guess it really understood as it pushed the strangers together No, no, no, no this wasn't right, this wasn't it this, this, this.... Her face, like a blue rose drenched in rain, beautiful Her face, captivating and enchanting a thief as she stole a kiss, stealing the words from his lips 'With arms wide open, to say to show you I picked this for you, under reflecting sunlight how much you mean to me, how much I am hopelessly in love with you so please hide from your troubles in my embrace I am yours to hold'
