One summer day, years ago
You went out walking in the rain
Intrigued I stole glances
While idle pratter from another
Slowly faded in the background
I wanted to join you
To know more of this strange charming boy
Summer faded, as did you
Autumn seemed a little colder
It would be years before we'd meet again
No longer a boy
Though you still loved to play
I dove back into the game
I reached for heart, you for flesh
Frustration pushed me into another
Still looking back
Waiting to see you reach for me
Morals compromised
Hearts broken
In the months following our confessions
But I meant it then
As I do now
If you were walking in the rain
I'd be right beside you
