Like Rain

I fell for you like rain,

Little drops transforming into a thunderstorm.

I fell for you like rain,

Slowly, steadily, irreversibly.

I fell for you like rain,

Eager to lose myself

In the depths of your heart.

. . .

You're like rain,

You pervade my being, body and soul.

You're like rain,

Rain that the parched earth of my heart

can never have enough of.

You're like rain,

The fragrance of your love lingers on

In the meadows of my mind

Long after you're gone.

. . .

I'll be your rain,

I'll fill up your empty spaces

With love.

I'll be your rain,

I'll search out your darkness

And wash it away.

I'll be your rain,

And on your umbrella days

I'll free fall from the spokes

And in silence

Dance on your shoulders.
