Days like this I miss you the most–
Watching the rain wash the world,
Having my head bounce in rhythm to the shaking walls.
Boom.
Boom!
BOOM!
Last night I dreamed about Adam Levine.
He held me like you did that time at Walgreens…
Like that time at the soccer field.
He didn’t quite know the spot that felt the coziest.
I wish you were here to hold me the right way.
We’d stand in the doorway wrapped in blankets
Watching the rain wash the world
Sticking our tongues out at each other and
Receiving a bath of acid rain.
There’s nothing sexier than soaked clothes
Revealing everything–
Even hearts beating in rhythm with the thunder
Under thin chests speckled with goosebumps.
I can be struck by this kind of behavior.
I am the victim of a lightning strike of passion,
And I’m liking the side effects.
Nitrogen charging the Earth and our souls,
Soaked muscles tightening in anticipation of what will
come.
We are the brain child of lightning and thunder
And our rain tastes sweet on the lips of others.
I can see the electricity in my periphereal vision–
The flash of a triple lightening explosion.
He’s jealous of the things we’ve done.
He tried to mach our voltage and failed.
Iron and Wine is playing in the background.
It entertains our wandering thoughts.
I want to kiss your rain soaked lips.
We don’t have to be in love to do this…
But it would help.
We are going to have amazing lives.
They will be like the movies.
They will have a soundtrack.
They will be separate.
I am lightening; you are thunder.
Someday I hope we’ll meet
Under circumstances sweeter than the parting
I want it to be soon, but it will be later if ever
And if never, if you’re gone forever…
I’ll remember.
I’ll remember you in the thunderstorms.
I’ll remember you in my heart rhythm.
I’ll remember you in the musty smell of rain
Which affects me more than any endorphine.
I’ll remember you in the lightening.
I’ll remember you in the rain.
I’ll remember you in times like this
Forever until you fade.
