Just a little get-back-together love story that popped into my head. 

It's not raining...but I'm getting soaking wet My head is sweating...because, there is something...I can not forget My baby's leaving me...and my life is filled with sorrows Just knowing, that I won't be seeing her...in all of my tomorrow's It's not raining...but dripping off my nose Are drips of teardrops...flowing, just like a river flows My baby's leaving...and I am broken hearted Just knowing that...there is something she has started It started raining...but I was feeling a little dry Until I cried again...when my baby said goodbye My baby's leaving...and I just can not forget It isn't raining...but I'm getting soaking wet The sun is shining...I am feeling so much better The postman came to me...and he handed me a letter My baby wrote to me...said she was coming home Without me in her life...said she felt all alone The sun is shining...and I've got life back again It seems so long ago...it seems like way back when It wasn't raining...and I was getting soaking wet Because, there was something leaving...that I just could not forget

Reminds me a bit of Neil Sedaka's "Laughter in the Rain," a huge hit back in the day (mid-'60's, I think). Nicely done! ~ Gershon (soup mail)

It's someone's reality, I'm sure. Just not mine, but I thank you for your thoughtful concern, Sara. ~Charlie

"Just knowing, that I won't be seeing her...in all of my tomorrow's" - she felt the same exact way! Nice ending Charles, so glad!
