I can't outwalk the rain
or the pain your leaving
left me with.
The tears on my face,
or is it rain,
brings me to my knees.
Can't you see?
I'm nothing without you.

I can't outwalk goodbye
Is it the wind that
makes me shiver?
Or the silence you
left behind?

I can't outwalk the love
The one you left behind
Forever.

The rain and a lover leaving are both big drips. One leaves you soaked on the outside, the other with a big sobbing heart on the inside. Find someone with two big arms to gently wrap you up and dry you out.

I  really love those lines Paula! They're from the pain and sorrow element and they put the point across so well!!

I do hope it's not the case, Paula

. Well-done.

Paula sister mine, beauty and brains love, you have them both. I love this as smooth a flow as I've ever seen love. Absolutely fabulous.

And now love come and jump in the puddles with me, we can have a splashing time.

Take care love as always
