RAIN...

Pitter-patter-pitter-patter...
I listen to the rain.
Sitting by the open window,
Memories flood my mind again.

All these years, the things unsaid,
And the jokes we still share,
Inspite of the love and affection within,
The show of "I don't care".

That look, that smile and knowing glance,
And all those casual chats,
Of how you got late that morning,
Or how much I hate cats!

And all those silent, awkward moments,
Whenever we get to speak,
And the countless times you comfort me,
I feel my heart go weak...

All the times I get upset
And ask you, "Why is it so?"
You answer me, "You can't always
Get what you love the most, you know."

That is something you made me believe,
It always echoes in my mind.
God's almighty, God loves us all,
But life--- his gift--- is not so kind.

Still, I think of the day we parted,
And hope that I will meet you again.
I smile and slowly close my eyes,
And go on listening to the rain...
