It's 3pm
And I'm waiting
For your bus to
Come.
We wait there
In silence.
And I ask myself
Where tears
Come from.
As we wait
I'm trying to
Find a way
To say I love you
Without giving myself
Away.
As we wait
For the rain
To fall.

The words
You used to say to me
Are treasured in
My heart.
I don't want
To let you go
This leaving keeps
Our souls apart.
I'm starting to feel
This wrenching
Pain.
I know somehow
We'll never meet ever
Again.
As we wait
For the rain
To fall.

You board the bus
At 3:15.
I wave good bye
From a tearful
Stream.
While the rain falls
So softly
Hiding my tears
That slide down
Gently.

I should have told you.
Although I didn't
Want to
In case I gave
Myself away.

I never knew
How lonely life
Could be.
I only knew
I could've told you
When I saw you
Leave.
I should have given
Myself away
I know.
Love is unforgiving
That's why the rain turns
To snow.

I like this a lot.  It's very sudden and effective, the placement of some words.  Great work.

This flowed amazingly.  I really love the scene you painted, and the last line was just marvelous.  
The title arrangement makes me wonder if this is to be a series?

You amaze me with your poetic talents. I enjoyed this oem immensely. Simply wonderful.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
