I like the rain
I truly do (!)
But it makes me
Remember (...)

Running,
Breathless,
Struggling to keep pace
The rain above us
Merely a light drizzle,
Infinitely not enough.

Walking,
Side by side,
To retrieve a lost boy,
The rain above us,
Drizzling painfully,
In just the wrong moment.

And the nausea
Rises,
And the ache in my chest
Expands.

I want the rain
To rain
Upon me
With Them
By my side.
