As I lie in bed listening to the rain
Falling softly
The raindrops beating a soft melody
like a drum on the rooftop
The curtains fluttering in the breeze
Softly thru the open window

My arms instinctively
reach for you
And I find only a cold and empty space
Where you used to be

As the rain and the wind increased their symphony
Bringing it to a crashing crescendo

I snuggle deeper under my blankets
You
are no longer there
To wrap your warm arms around me
Or to whisper sweet nothings in my ear
The rain reminds me
that you are gone
