It's raining again,
I miss her.
I think I'll drive that route one more time.
Just a glimpse, oh please...
The steady beat of the rain
on the window draws
her to her feet...he is so far away.
Was that her?
No, curtains don't move when nobody's home.
There's a space, so empty,
I can look at the house and make wishes.
From the corner of the porch
she slips out into the rain
barefoot
face uplifted to the sky
arms outstretched to embrace the rain.
She used to hide her hair stepping out of the shower,
lucky towels.
but look now!
oh, to be the drop that caresses her face,
to start at the nape and wander down...
gentle rain each drop a kiss
his lips, tasting the rain on her own
as she moves slowly in invitation.
Each droplet his finger tracing
a pathway
til its a flood of wanting
raging through her...
...still she dances.
She hears "our song," even now,
look at her eyes,
always where I lost myself,
it's too cold in this car,
I want to feel the rain,
I want to touch her again...
Arms wrapped tight around her
she dances to a cold memory
yearning for his warmth
the feel of his heartbeat
his breath on her cheek
dance.
In her mind, he holds her
and she sways to his rhythm.
Stronger, faster the rains come
but never enough to wash him away.
She's holding someone invisible,
who looks like me.
Dare i?
Should i?
Could i?
She opens her eyes to find him there
No...is he real?
She reaches to touch
A dream never felt like this.
Her eyes, her eyes,
I see at last.
I know what she meant when she said
"Dance with me in the rain."
