Love Poem: Through the Rain

Through the Rain

I SIT AND WATCH THE RAIN..
     A TEAR DROP'S IN MY EYES..
     ROLLING DOWN MY FACE...
     I WIPE THEM DRY....
     BUT STILL I CRY....
     IT'S HARD TO SEE THROUGH THE MISTY
     WINDOW PANE..
     I ONLY SEE MY WRINKLED FACE...
     THESE LAUGHTER LINES ARE NOT SO FUNNY...
     THE YEARS ARE CATCHING UP SO FAST..
     AND RUNNING PAST AT SPEED...
     LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOW....
     I SEE YOUR SLIGHT REFLECTION..
     YOUR DISAPPEARING...
     FADING...
     WALKING AWAY FROM ME...
     I SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING...
     BUT THE RAIN WAS DRIVING IN MY FACE..
     I RAN AROUND IN CIRCLES..
     CHASING DREAMS THAT COULD NOT BE...
     BECAUSE YOU WERE TO GOOD FOR ME..
     WE LIVED IN DIFFERENT WORLDS..
     BUSINESS CLASS FOR YOU...
     AND ECONOMY FOR ME...
     I LOVED YOU TRULY WITH ALL MY HEART..
     MY DAYS OF WAITING FOR YOUR CALLS...
     HOPING I COULD MAKE YOU DAY...
     BUT THE RAIN HAS WASHED MY DREAMS AWAY..
     I COULD NOT HIDE THE TEARS..
     OR THE SADNESS IN YOUR EYES..
     I CANNOT TAKE THE PAIN..
     I HOPE TODAY IT DOES NOT RAIN............
