Hush now in the rain.

Good bye love, the wind is blowing and the rain is washing you away.

Hush now in the rain

as the wind blows my curtains

your face is hidden by the shadows 

making it much easier to let the moment happen

Far too many hours have passed

we are both old and wiser for the wear

beaten and bruised and in the final lap

wasting no more time on pretend

Looking back at how far we have come

from naive and secretive and sordid little kids

to the grown up versions of us who stand in this room

waiting for the other to say what we both are feeling.

This time will be the last time

the last goodbye words in the breezy room

the last time I will tell you I have loved you so much I broke

the last time you will pretend not to hear.

I will be quiet and still for the first time in my life

you will be alone to move on with out my affection

I will sleep, able to receive the better version of love

that I am to enjoy with out you.

This was so soft and beautiful and melancholy. Your melodic verses have a hypnotizing affect on the reader where, as we find the last line we think, the poem ended far too soon. Very nicely done.
