... in the Rain (Free verse) by Numen
Years ago, I remember dancing in the rain
We couldn't afford to get sick
And we knew we'd be chilled to the bone
But the stress was built up inside
Too much talk about life
How things were going to be
Who was going to be where
I remember what little hair you had
Pasted to your head
Holding the water as if just to prove it was still there
Just like I was holding onto what life I had left
I knew that you'd be moving on
You thought the same of me
You had LA and friends
I had college and bars
I remember the water escaping anyway
I could see it pour down your face
But even if you watched the hair closely
You never could have seen any change
The things I was about to lose
Stood there so static and proud
What you were about to give up
Hid tears behind drops of rain
I remember watching you walk in the door
And the water as you shook it off
Scattering the drops as they hit the wall or the floor
I remember standing behind as you walked off
Leaving the messy drops to dry themselves
I never did dry
And so, I still dance in the rain
