Trying to Catch the Rain

Drifting through my life, like a soft summer breeze. A whisper of

warmth, then you're gone with the leaves. Your smile is

like the sunrise, only a fraction of my day. You tease me in the morning,

and then slip into gray. I reach out to hold you, but you're already

gone. A shadow that lingers and 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,
