And Then You

Walking down the street
Laughing with my friend
The sky is clouded over
Threatening to rain
The wind howling in my ears
Ruffling my loose brown hair
The humid stuffy air
Seeming to close in on me
Waving good bye to my friend
As we reach her house
Trying to keep my shirt from
Sticking to me in the humidity
Looking up to the clouds
And imagining your face
Feeling the first rain drop hit me
Mixing with the salty tears
Opening my wet eyes to the sky
Looking down the street
And then you
Standing before me
With a tear stained face
And the same lost look
Feeling your fingers slide between mine
Being finally found
Walking down the street

Matt Caliri June 10, 2009 at 5:30 PM Great circular rhythm...it somehow performs the magic of never really taking you anywhere, but very so careful and present to the moment in your words...it feels as if she never walks more than 10 feet in all of this...
