Walking In The Rain

I still remember our first days together.
How we thought nothing of doing those things people do while falling in love.
Walking in the rain, catching the falling snow, picking wild flowers.
How long ago was that? Seems like forever.

Now we always take our umbrella when it looks like rain.
We stay inside during those snow storms.

Everything just seemed so "right" back then.
Not a care to worry about.
Not a worry to care about.

I have to say I kind of miss those days from long ago.
I miss the spirit we had. The excitement of falling in love with you.
More than anything else, I miss us. The way we were.

Caught up in the everyday world and all the business a household demands.
All the time we spend away from each other.
Even while together.

Perhaps it's time we thought about leaving the umbrella at home.
Maybe we should start looking forward to the falling snow again.

Please take my hand once more. Let's walk in the rain.
Let's make some angels in the snow.
Let's fall in love all over again.

Some find subtlety in strangers
some find subtlety alone
Your eyes,you see everything
my eyes,I see its all together now
and I know.

Hi Frank, welcome to this fantastic home of treasured PoetFriends...

It's so easy for people to get lost in the hectic pace of day2day life and sometimes they lose sight of the romance part and there's not a better time than the present to rekindle it over and over again

I enjoyed reading your poem and I'll look forward to reading more of your poetry...
