I feel loneliest on nights
when I'm laying next to you,
but you are a million miles away.
What do I do when it's 3am,
and I need you to hold me,
but you are fast asleep,
and I am as wide awake
as the moon.
Do I wake you?
Of course not.
I let you sleep,
undisturbed,
by my anxious thoughts.

On rainy days,
I feel lost when
you are not here.
I gaze out the window,
watching the rain
soak the world outside.
The trees sway in
the cool breeze,
and all I can
think about is you.
Yes,
on rainy days,
I feel like I'm 17 again.  
Starving my bones,
and staring at my phone.
Waiting for your message,
"Come over, I'm waiting".
I'd pull on my jacket,
and walk a few blocks
down the street.
Butterflies in my belly
the whole way there.
Yes,
on rainy days,
I think of you.
I think of the first time
you held me in your arms
while the rain washed
my sorrows away.
You held me so close,
I knew you loved me,
before your lips spoke
a single word.
I was yours.
You were mine.
Our eyes told
each other everything.
