Downpour

All the good stuff?! Right.

I woke up

With the sound of raindrops

And I immediately

Thought of you

And of that day

When you shook me

Off my slumber 

And told me that raindrops

Should be our models in loving.

With a sleepy confusion

I asked you why

And you answered with

That lopsided smile 

And a hint of mischief in your eyes,

"They're not afraid to fall,

 In fact that's not all they do;

 They also give and return."; 

"Give and return what?" I mumbled, 

"Love, blessings, happiness?

All the good stuff." 

I looked at your pillow,

At your side of the bed,

And wished it was summer.
