It rains again, do you hear?
Do you feel the drops break on your pale face?
Do you still take joy? Do you smile?
Do you remember?
I taste the rain again
To wonder if it tastes too different from mine.
It's just as bland though, and tasteless
Like my twinge that is no fun anymore.
Hopelessly hopeful makes me fetch my cup for more,
Two spoonfuls of sugar and I promise I'll smile like a kid.
I think of you too, you know that!
I'm not selfish you know.
My love's almost a favour
To you and to me.
I'm not selfish you know.
Do you still smile? Do you still think of me?
Do you still long for us to be under the same rain?
I do.
I do because the rain is your heart,
Which when I kiss shatters into a hundred pieces.
The rain is you.
It rains again, do you hear?
It rains again, I love you.

what is it about rain and romance eh?
i like the fact that the poem doesnt have any structure.
"My love's almost a favour
To you and to me."
Reminded me of Duke of Ferrara in My Last Duchess
That's insane flattery. Will never be able or want to match that passion of the Duke/Browning! Very unintentional. Thanks for the look and the insights, docs!
hehehe, one wud gain nothing by flattering anyone here. I was referring to the Duke's madness. these lines reminded me of that
