It Rained

It rained,

Every time I look at you

And you turn towards another girl

Smiling

Softly

It rained, 

Every time I walk past you

And you look behind me, at her

Grinning

Gently

It rained, 

Every time I heard your voice

And you looped your arm around her

Whispering

Warmly

It rained,

That night I saw you

Alone on the bench at your backdoor

Lingering

Lonely

It rained, hard

When you notice me

Those dark brown eyes, finally, on me

Smiling

Sadly

It rained, gently

When I walked to you

You sat there beside me, quietly, accepting

Broken

Badly

It rained, silently

When I watched you

While you bleed, catching teardrops in your hands

Heaving

Harshly

It rained, and rained,

When you took my hand

While I look on, you telling me about her

Leaving

Lying

It rained,

And like damp paper I tore

Staring lifelessly when you thanked me for being there

Friends

Forever

I rained,

When you said goodbye

And I looked on, untangling you from me,

Falling

Freely

And it rained.

In the Mood for Writing - Long Long Journey to Love

I guess it's been a long time since I came here.


Then again, it's been a long time since I've written anything besides assignments. It's sad, isn't it?

But today, I'm down. I need to write. So, let me rant for a while, can you?

~

It's a long long journey to love,

He said,

As we lay side by side

Surrounded by ashes and dust

It's a long long journey to love

He said,

As we stood quietly together

In front of the memorial tomb

It's a long long journey to love

He said,

As I stood behind him,

Tracing the stripes that lined his body

It's a long long journey to love

He said,

Because I need to learn

Because we need to learn

It's a long long journey to love,

I know,

Because he needs the time,

And I need the space.

It's a long long journey to love,

I said,

A thousand miles

A thousand smiles

A thousand hurts

and a thousand pains

It's a long long journey to love,

we know,

and we left.

War heroes,

Survivors,

Lost.
