Catching the Rain

. Drifting through my life. Like a soft summer breeze.

A whisper of warmth. Then you're gone with the leaves. Your smile's like

the sunrise. Only a fraction of my day. You tease me in the morning.

Then slip into gray. I reach out to hold you. But you're already

gone. A shadow that lingers. Then fades with the dawn.

Your laugh's like a melody. Sweet but untrue. A song I can't finish.

No matter what I do. Loving you is like trying to catch the rain.

Water through my fingers. Again and again. A teardrop lost at sea.
