A Verse From a Love Letter

If I can count the number of times
I have lain on my bed
And watched
The raindrops fall
From the night
Onto my windowpane
As if they were my tears
Falling from my heart
And not the sky
Onto a grave
A depiction
Of loneliness and
Spiteful solitude
Then I would multiply those many times I have counted
By 735
And seal it with a kiss
And make merry of our love
Now and to come
