It’s raining again…
The clouds have covered the night sky…
It’s so cold, so dark…
No sign of the stars through eyes that want to cry…
Under naked street lights…
As his mind conflicts and his memories fight…
A heavy feeling filling his feet…
Still walking to the sound of her beat…
Remembering that time and place…
He last saw her pretty face…
When life was easy and so fine…
Drinking glasses of cheap Red wine…
Spinning the bottle…
Adrenaline full throttle…
The games of truth…
Under someone else’s roof…
And all the dares…
Her matching underwear…
His longing stares…
The unspoken feelings…
On the floor kneeling…
Talking in code was so easy, so appealing…
In the bloom of his youth…
Dancing around the truth…
If only, if only, if only…
If only he wasn’t a nobody…
If only he and she could be…
If only she’d look closer and see…
His utter desire…
The never ending fire…
She was so out of reach…
And a lesson it tried to teach…
But the warning was not heeded…
Further lessons in life, would be needed…
As he would fall for others…
But his dreams would be smothered…
Leaving his loving soul undiscovered…
But forever; this one remains…
In his mind, playing games…
That will always end the same…
As he wanders through the rain…
His eyes ready to burst…
At the thought of his first…
