a reason to fall

It hasn't rained since you left. when the powers out I sit ouside, only to help the rain, find a reson to fall.

Rain.
I I always love it.
I always have.
even before
you.
You only made it
"our thing".
The thing you'd walk half a block
just to spend with me.
The one where we'd sit,
in the driveway,
on the auning,
or on our bench,
for hours at a time,
Just to be with eachother.
But
It hasn't rained.
since you moved it's been to dry.
We get dust.
Like the dustbowl,
only more misserable for me.
We've almost had rain.
But it never reached us.
It always circles around our block
leaving us out of it.
To day though.
Today was a diffrent story.
I was home alone.
My power was out,
and I was outside.
I thought I saw your van go by,
I wasn't possitive.
Even so
I cried,
just the thought of you made me sad.
thats when I heard thunder.
I cried harder,
That was when you'd hold me tighter.
During the thunder.
You said you were protecting me,
from the thunderbirds.
A flash of lighting,
and I laughed.
You hated the lighting.
You always wore rubber.
to protect yourself,
you were so silly.
Even so,
Ther's no rain.
It wouldn't rain without you.
then,
I felt a drop.
I hear my name being called.
Another drop.
pounding footsteps comming closer.
More drops came down.
Wait, was it you?
I didn't have time to think.
suddenly it was pouring rain,
and I was in your arms.
You whisperd apologies to me,
saying you were stupid,
idiotic,
and selfish.
I hold onto you,
affraid I might be dreaming.
It's raining,
and I'm in your arms.
I must be dreaming.
Before I could utter a single word,
you proclaimed three I've been waiting to hear.
"I love you"
I was shocked as you kissed me,
You didn't hold back your emotions.
You let me know you were hurting,
longing,
whishing for,
and needing me.
So we stood there
in the pouring rain.
Kissing.
Obviously the rain knew we were ment to be,
that apart there was no point,
to fall from the clouds.
But now,
there's a reason,
to fall.

This is great! You words create a natural narrative around the emotions of the characters. Your rhythm is tight and gripping. It was incredibly vivid to read.

Despite your mind-the-spelling notion, just thought that i'd point out three places for you to mop up before other reviewers see this piece.

The words are as follows:
possitive
whisperd
(and then the phrase "you proclaimed three I've been waiting to hear" should have 'words' inserted)

Sorry about the knit-picking. I've got an annoying eye for detail that's never left me!

Thanks for the poem :D

Very sad. I'm not sure why I think this is sad, but is seems when the one thing that let the character remember her boyfriend was gone. This poem was very creative.
