When the rain came crashing down
so did my thoughts.
I ran into Molly's room,
but those thoughts still chased me.
"I want to dance in the rain" I said -
"I hope you enjoy that" she snapped sarcastically.
I want to say to you -
but she already knows, because,
because this was supposed to our time.
Months ago, I sat where she sat,
on her bed, the miles felt shorter.
Rain poured down the window
playing a song for me,
but I was without a partner.
Now I can change that-
I can't go alone I cry
All I want to be is alone she replies.
A fire lights in my eyes
And the tears evaporate.
I snatch her book and her attention.
Why must you escape the world in your book,
When you can enjoy it with me?
She outstretches her hand,
Asking for her book with a gesture and a glare.
I take it as an invitation
And I drag my partner onto our dance floor.
