Rain
Sitting in his favourite cafe
Latte in hand
Engrossed in the words
In his familiar newspaper land
Startled by a loud rumble
Dark clouds loomed above
The heavens suddenly opened
His thoughts turned to his true love
She was a free spirit
He was conservative
Their differences worked beautifully
Compromise and consideration being the alternative
She loved the rain and how it made her feel
She was at one with the rain
She showed him how to embrace it
He never viewed the rain the same
A lifetime together walking in the rain
Playful they laughed and danced
They swam in the wild raw ocean
A time of precious love and romance
He achingly missed her
Though felt blessed to have had those years
She was and will always be his one and only
His memories welled his eyes with tears
Jolted back to reality
Composed once again
With a smile and a happy heart
He stepped out into the pouring rain
