Memories in the Rain
I remember black skies
Chaotic, rumbling clouds
Smothering the light of the sun
But barely visible through the sheets
Of falling rain
I remember how we ran
Along that stormy street
Illuminated by headlights
Soaked to the skin
But grinning from ear to ear
I remember holding Your hand
Feeling safe in Your grasp
Two links in an iron chain
As we fought our way through
The wall of cascading tears
I remember looking up
Into Your familiar face
Seeing You smile down at me
Through the drops of distortion
Our eyes shining
I remember making a promise
That for the rest of my life
Whenever it stormed
You'd be on my mind
“That's exactly what I wanted,” You'd laughed
I remember those moments
When we were running for cover
The world spinning around us
Under that vast dome
Of gunmetal gray
I remember your smile
And the love in Your eyes
And whenever I miss You the most
I let go of the world
And remember those moments
I still remember my promise
To which I still hold true
And whenever the Heavens
Let loose and cry
I shed a tear
And remember You
