the rain splashed around us
in puddles that reflected the smiles

and we danced every night
sang with our entire soul
and caught the happy rain in our mouths
without any regrets or sadness.

but soon after a few weeks
you stopped dancing and instead

watched me dance for you
as i was so desperate to have you

dance once more.

and then you stopped singing
so the tunes were only carried by me

and they sounded incomplete
without your voice that matched mine
like puzzle pieces together. 

and after that you truly stopped
catching the rain in your mouth
in fact your mouth no longer moved
nor did your once excited body
and it stayed straight and stiff.

and i danced
i sang
i caught more rain

and you never once joined me
and still i dance
still i sing
still i catch the rain

will you ever come back?
