Remind Me of the Rain

Remind me of the rain,
You always do.

Remind me of the rain,
And those sleepy, grey afternoons

Brown hair and
Charcoal drawings
Your adept fingers
Wisps of lead pencils

Jazz music
And
Hot chocolate

A rhythm
The rhythm
You walked
You cooked
You danced

Warm blankets and
Warmer smiles
Hiding inside ourselves

Morning showers
And the tapping of window
Panes

Fingerprints
Little patterns in the
Lamplight
On the cool glass

Dark storms
Brewing
A pot of coffee
And some popcorn with
That movie

That brings me to tears

You laugh.
I don’t mind,
Your laughter
Is so warm.

And I am
Warm.

Even though
You
Remind me of the rain.

Just like always.
