KISS THE RAIN
“I wish I could throw off the thoughts which poison my happiness, and yet I take a kind of pleasure in indulging them.”

KISS THE RAIN – YIRUMA
DANCING IN THE RAIN
My heart is shrink-wrapped to protect it
protect it from the damage that love brings
one moment I am dancing in the rain
bare feet splashing; dancing with you;
next thing precious memories are driving me insane
stick out my tongue and catch those sweet drops
trickling down my face and chin
laughing out loud with such joyful abandonment
giggling when trickles are tickling my skin
just now though I'm rolling with the punches
because I can't stand the strain
of losing myself so deep in you
that it causes such exquisite pain
so in my head I'm outside still dancing
kissing you in the rain
with the bubble wrapped around me
and the sweetest dreams contained
but in reality I'm writhing
broken up and bound
wound so tight like a steel drum
loud clanging in my head; cacophony of sound
reverberating around and around
spinning my head 'til my feet can't touch the ground
love lifted me so high; to be better than I am
it's a long way to fall down my love
I'm scared I won't survive the fall
you were always there to catch me
like the rain on open hands
so delicate and fragile
you saved me from my broken bones
you released my heart from it's plastic prison
where sweetest hopes and dreams were left to die
and now I'm hopeless and bereft without you
laying on my bed, as I begin to cry
I need you now; without you I'm just an empty shell
please don't give up on life; on love
I couldn't bear for us to die
I am a fighter, but even I feel bleak
and all I ask is for you to fight the night
that descended and left you so very weak
together we can fight most everything
together we stand brave and strong
putting heads together
and making right the wrong.

“There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won't remember and that she can't even let herself think about because that's when the birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it's always raining a slow and endless drizzle.
You will hear that she has left the country, that there was a gift she wanted you to have, but it is lost before it reaches you. Late one night the telephone will sign, and a voice that might be hers will say something that you cannot interpret before the connection crackles and is broken.
Several years later, from a taxi, you will see someone in a doorway who looks like her, but she will be gone by the time you persuade the driver to stop. You will never see her again.
Whenever it rains you will think of her. ”
