We met in a rainstorm
Our eyes full of rain
And hope.
We scrunched together
Our pace almost matching.
We laughed at the puddles
The thunder
And the lightening.
Their power could not compare
To the storm that was brewing between us.
The rain was cold
But the fire inside our souls
Burned so bright
It kept us warm
And lit the way.
I could have gotten lost
In  your gaze
Your smile
Your laugh.
But instead we walked on.
Trudging through puddles
Our eyes never meeting
Our shoulders barely brushing
But our souls already intertwined.
