Notes About The Poem

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

It's Not Raining-But I'M Gettng Soaking Wet

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!
