Rain is falling over me
I’m under cover
Though I’m sad, I don’t regret
letting it soak me through

Sitting with my thoughts
I’m kidding myself
Thinking it will stop soon

There’s no rainbow
in the night sky
Even if there was,
I couldn’t leave the rain.
The rain became what I needed tonight
Rain forced me to stop

Sitting with my thoughts
You keep revolving around
Your thin face smiling
as you slip away
becoming cold, skin colored sallow

Maureen plays the video over and over
You’re waving, fairing your farewell

Did you feel me hugging you?
Did you hear me speak about the memories we shared ?
Did you know I loved you because of who you were ?

You were enough
You were more than enough

So many times I hear people say they wish they could’ve said things in person

Did you know I don’t ?
You would understand
You molded my art
You held my hand

Rain is falling over me
I’m under cover
I’m sad but I don’t regret
sticking with you until the end

      Exactly . Letting myself feel it and love through it. Not trying to push past it. 🙂
