Lightning flashes 

when you glance 

i'm thunderstruck 

walk in slow motion 

ran a hand on a 

rainy railing 

cats and dogs falling 

but kept on walking 



head afloat 

like a paper boat 

gliding through puddles 

of rippling rainbows 

the gray sky can't 

dampen my spirit 



lightning flashes 

fluttering eyelashes 

the pitter-patter 

of the rain 

echoes in my chest 

heart is racing 

shoes are squishing 

as feet hasten 



swim against the flood 

of the people in the street 

tried to keep up with your pace 

but you just slipped away 

with the tear down my cheek 



drops come through 

small holes in the sky 

sound of a thousand fingers tapping 

as i wave good-bye 



drops come through 

small holes in my eyes 

sound of a thousand heartbeats stopping 

as i wave good-bye
