There is a hint of romance in the rain
To feel yourself lost in locked lips
Caught in a moment never to forget
Missing her oddly on sunny days
With a mouth so dry from the heat
And nothing prepares, not really
For the hint of sarcasm that was ignored
The washing away that came with it all
Snapshots pulled from forever
The forever you promised each other
My stature proved incapable to cope
Too short to last the trial run
It was only ever an attempt by you
You wanted it badly to stay raining
We both wanted it to work in truth
To keep promises you couldn’t
I won’t blame you, trying for so long
It’s more than I expected to live
But it takes more than just wanting
More than just albums of snapshots
More than just rainfall
To reach the height of heights I couldn’t
I am already grown, a man
And the flood reaches my chest
I don’t tower above it, I am a part of it
And I will never have power over rain
The only heights left are within
And inside, its still raining hard.
