Oh please let it rain.
Rain on me and hide these tears.
I'm feeling so lonely today
my heart aches.
I hold my face up to the sky
catching raindrops,
leaf drops, tree drops,
and tear drops.
Walking miles thru the forest
along muddy paths and deer trails
thru the underbrush
across the meadows.
Miles of fence line
counting fence posts.
My mind wanders and yet
always wanders back to you.
Do I really know you...
will I ever?
Can I allow myself to
sink that far in you.
Why does my heart ache...
I haven't given it to you
or have I?
Even I don't know.
My days are spent
thinking of you
and my nights...just
thinkin thinkin thinkin.
I love our times together.
You teaser...you flirt...
you hugger...giggler....
you....winker extraordinaire.
And when you're not there
I miss you so.
Minutes are hours, hours are days,
and days are just too long.
The woods are my refuge
when I think of you.
There's comfort and tranquility
in walking under tall trees.
Wet blades of grass cling to my boots.
Pant legs wet to the knees.
Time to head on home or
perhaps a few minutes more.
So here at my white oak I'll sit,
my special thinking spot.
With my head on my knees I'll think...
until the rain stops.
