"Be My Rain"

Soft shades of gray
Decorate the sky
As I try to escape
The eyes that pry
The eyes that know
How I feel
Why my heart aches

A smile and a simple hello
Are all you need to sweep me off my feet
To make the butterflies in my stomach flutter
To make my knees grow suddenly weak
As I stutter
Trying to find my voice
To say hello back

Drizzling harder
The rain fell
Like teardrops from the heavens
How I longed to say I love you
To be held within your arms
But if only, if only
It were a reality and not some
Hopeless dream

So as the rain fell today
Oh, how much it reminded me of you
Leaving ever so quickly
Just as I was beginning to cherish its presence
Like how you leave before
I can express my feelings

And as your retreating form becomes more distant
I take the time to softly say to myself
Don't be my Valentine
Don't be my heart
Because valentines are overrated
And this heart of mine is so easily broken
No, instead
Be my rain
Because I'll know you'll always be back

Lovely, simply lovely. It's like something they read at the beginings of movies. I do truly love this.
