Raindrop

I'm a raindrop on the window pane
Running here, there, nowhere but down.
Lost in the cool flurries of rain
As the storm dons its liquid gown.

Deep in my soul a reflection of you
Magnifying the memories and grief.
The years we had now seem so few
Our rainbows seem so very brief.

I raindrop down the dark abyss
So futile seem the echoes of fun.
I pool in how sorely I miss
Our liquid laughter in the sun.

Raindrop, raindrop going nowhere at all
Dribbling slowly down memory lane.
I drip and droop and languidly fall
In stagnant pools filled with pain.

In my heart the memories lie,
Your rainbows dance and sway.
So many storms have passed me by
Since you left and went away.

I have always seen 'Your Love' for this Your perhaps soul-mate of Yours that You have written about often, as You have above here!!!~ Sometimes in life, you 'never' find a love greater than "The One!!?"~And I hate to possibly see "Your Priceless Heart" suffering for reason dear Heidie!!?~So, wherever "You" are?~ "May Mercies Love, Light and Blessings, Always Pour Upon You & Your Life!!!"~I hope to hear from "You" again soon!!!~"My Love To You Always, John!"~Bye Precious Heidie Buys!:)
