Rain and Me

A happy day. You were the sun. I was Earth. Nothing could disrupt the gravitational pull; Nothing could stop physics, Our law of gravity. A cloud breaks rank, showering Me in damp moonlight, And I see your face Align in the stars. Is this you with that Last goodbye And last kiss, Or Is the night simply fooling me? You had only said those words of Nothing at all. You had only signaled a meeting with A kiss Which felt so penultimate. The sun has already passed now, That night has come. I stand here. Near the pond where you’d Taught me to skip stones, I realize I’ll never see you again. You have left it to the night to break my heart; Silently invisible wind is the love I always felt, Chilled grass is the heart in my chest, Each beat scared of vulnerability. You had only dampened those words of Nothing at all. You had only drenched a meeting with A kiss Which felt so penultimate. The sun has gone now. That night has come. Everything I knew of you is now Buried within these raindrops. The sun has gone now. That night has come. I have tears.
