I Remembered The Rain... Poem by Gabe Florsheim

I remembered the rain…
the day we sat together
watching the rain drops dancing before us
on the window before our eyes
on the horizon of our lives.

I remembered your face…
the hopeful expression in your eyes
the rolling of your hair against your cheek
looking at the rain dancing before you,
thousands of tiny shards of glass.

I remembered your smile…
the photograph forever a part of me,
the feeling it brought to me, my heart
with that soft, wistful look in your eyes
knowing in the midst of the rain, around us
that you were there for me, and a part of me
so that you would not forget my face
on the day we were finally apart.

All that we ever had was the rain…
that day
And what we remembered
of each other's faces in the shadow of the rain that day…

Now, without you, I hear the rain…
only the rain, and remembering your eyes
that soft, wistful look in your eyes
tearing me apart, crushing my heart

As I remember you…

the rain.
