Taxi Driver

Remember the night
We confessed our love
To one another?
It was raining that night,
Tears were pouring
From the clouds above
As we left the theater
Unaware of how one felt about the other.
We were going to walk home,
But you began to shiver
In the cold of the tear drops
Falling from somewhere in the sky.

Remember the taxi driver,
The way he looked in the rearview mirror
And smiled an innocent smile
As we silently confessed our love
To one another
With a simple, yet passionate kiss.
You could see his thoughts in his eye,
“Two young lovers,
Just beginning to find themselves.”
He never said a word,
Just held his smile
And turned his eyes
Back to the rain soaked road ahead.

I remember clear as day light,
That night that our love was confessed.
I remember the minutes we spent
Wrapped in one another’s arms,
Safe from the crying sky,
Under the roof of a taxi
In the presence of a taxi driver
Who came to know our story without words,
But would never tell.
I remember the hours we spent
Letting the words finally slip out,
I remember the kisses we shared,
And the moments that made us one.

Remember the night
We confessed our love
To one another?
It was raining that night,
Tears were pouring
From the clouds above
As we left the theater
Unaware of how one felt about the other.
We were going to walk home,
But you began to shiver
In the cold of the tear drops
Falling from somewhere in the sky.
