Rain doesn't fall forever...


Tiny translucent drops glaze the windows

The rain falls steadily as they gaze out

Together for the last time tonight

Smiling at the disappearance of the last sunlight

Two mugs of coffee turning cold

Fingers inches apart yet they don’t hold

The tension lies thick in the air

Mingled with longing and care

He traces her face to commit to memory

For there will be no photos to prove this theory

That they had loved and lost each other the same night

The world had torn them apart with all its might

She would have destroyed the world had he wanted the same

Yet what was to speak of a relationship that had no name?

She stirs her coffee aimlessly without meaning to drink

Their journey together had come to its brink

Tomorrow she would leave and never be back

He had come to bid her his final goodbye

Wanting to comfort her and take all the blame

Yet how could he make her stop without a claim?

They rose with their coffee mugs and emptied them in the sink

Laughing they closed the distance within as he held her in his arms

Reveling in the companionship for one last time

Before they would be separated by the society’s norms

It was with smiles that they drew apart

She went into her room and plopped into the bed

He sat by the fire place his eyes red

He promised he’d be gone before she would wake

She knew she wouldn’t sleep a wink whatever it takes

And sure enough at sun break she stood by her window

Watched him walk ahead into the meadows

He glanced back one last time, his eyes shining

She waved with finality and watched him disappear into the lining….
