All the pain there ever was
all the tears there ever were
Surface again
After so much time
So may smiles
I thought you were gone
and I might be safe at last

Safe from the wet leather
Cologne in the rain
Lights reflecting
Skin soft, wet, cut open
Smoke swirling, filling time and energy
Stealing away all I wanted to say
An embrace like no other
Blurry
Warm
An Eternity

A thought that it was once all mine
That I had captured life's prize
at last in a raindrops time

It all fell
And I moved on
Constantly looking back
Through that ***** window
Wet, soaked with memories
Drenched with tears

I stuffed it all away
stowed safely, deep down
In a perfect hole
that you chiseled in the back of my heart

There it all remains
There it waits
To be remembered
By a reminder unannounced
Shocking my soul awake
Forcing it all out again

One of these days I won't notice
And you'll blow away in the winds of change
A lesson will have been learned,
a life lived,
a moment stolen,
And hope restored
