Kiss the Rain

kiss the rain and touch my hand 
oh- to dance like we use to
kiss the rain and touch my hand
i recall a time when lovers did stand

in time frozen solid i stood and gave solace.
a place in my heart the grave did stop it.
my heart from beating, my feet once fleeting-
to dance like i used to. 

kiss the rain and touch my face
oh-the wind in my hair, moment of grace
i recall a time when dancing was divine
but now has stopped, a moment in time.

in time frozen sweetly, my secrets shared discreetly-
of how i longed to dance with you again.
so instead my memory kissed the rain in hopes 
that someday that kiss would meet your face.

Thank you everyone for your encouragement. I just got off work after a bad night and this made my day. This also is my first contest so I hope to aspire someday to be entering more poems.
