You are the Rain

Falling raindrops from the sky,
hit my face and run down thin,
clears my soul of lingering troubles,
shedding off this iron-cast skin.

You had come so suddenly,
now I can't live without you here,
a twist of fate has changed my life,
and you have changed all of my years.

From this window, I see you now,
your green eyes glitter as you smile,
your warm hands lie upon my shoulder,
each moment with you proves worthwhile--

Your actions speak the sacred language,
the secret of life has been revealed:
flaws make us the most beautiful--
imperfections hurt, but hurt will heal.

These summer storms have taught me truth;
wisdom will carry me through the years,
I miss you, dear, yet you're all around,
So I can smile through these tears.

You are the rainstorm that I love,
nature's lesson from above;
life will catch me unaware,
but I'll be okay--I know you're there.
