I’m on fire
And I can feel
The flames lapping
On my skin
Can you help me?
I’m on fire!

When I wipe at my inked words
Before the gel ink has dried
My words bleed and smudge
Onto the college ruled paper
Just like my heart does inside

It was raining that day
And we ran to take shelter
Inside the cozy walls
Of our favorite coffee shop
Our jackets were wet
But we didn’t care
We would stay here
Until the storm passed
We ordered a cup of coffee
For both of us
Along with some cookies
And we waited together
Until the thunderstorm had passed
Then we headed for home

I sat down on the cement
With a box of colored chalk
Sitting by my side
And I wrote these words
With a piece of red chalk
It stated “I love you…always”
But when the rain fell
Later on that very day
It smudged those pretty words
I had written to you in chalk

You took white paper
And drew the shape of my heart
Then colored them in
With black and red crayons

You took black construction paper
And shaped the pattern of my heart

It’s raining hard today
And I am dancing with the rain
Swaying to the drumbeat of thunder
It’s raining so very hard today
And I have welcomed the storm
With arms outstretched
