YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO LOVE THE RAIN (Ottava Rima)

An Ottava Rima _one octive poem

My love, the day you came into my life

Was when I hate to feel the rain so much

Each drop to me was like a sharpened knife

That made deep cuts and wounds I couldn’t touch

But there you came along to mend the strife

When I was falling down you’re there to catch

You guided me and helped me ease the pain

My dear, you taught me how to love the rain.
