Why did you fall out of love with rain?
I remember how your heart danced
As water trickled down your cheek —
A ritual of joy,
Splashing all your sorrow away.
Why did you fall out of love with rain?
It came another day, just as you asked,
Knocked on your window
While your old man snored.
It missed you — the way you played.
It drew hearts on fogged glass to show affection,
Hoping the mist you hide in would disappear.
You say, “Let it snow.”
That’s just water, frozen over.
You’d put feelings on ice
To avoid a supernova.
It was simpler when it rained.
People forget the sun doesn’t stop shining,
Even behind the voids of clouds.
The sun’s still happy — it just smiles
Beneath all that you deem sadness.
Are you not a pluviophile?
Let your car run still as you drown in love songs.
I may not rev your engine the same way,
But I’ll cool your jets
Before they crash.
Please remember how much you love the rain.
Please don't let the darkness of the water pull you under.
This is a sweet reminder
From your aquatic, caring lover.
