Tasting the raindrops

Looking in your eyes,
I feel myself falling in love with you,
You said I love you,
And I said it too.

We went to our very own special spot,
For no real reason at all,
We sat and talked and looked at one another,
And then the rain began to fall.

We could have left just as quick as we came,
But no, you wanted to stay in the rain,
You asked me a question I’ll never forget,
Have you ever tasted the raindrops?

I looked at you funny and you gave me a sigh,
The cutest look, as I wondered, why?
Why, did you ask me to taste the rain?
Well, what did I have to lose or gain?

I watched you with a careful eye,
And did the same as you,
You were looking up at the cloudy sky,
But my eyes were stuck to you like glue.

I lifted my head at the sky,
And closed my eyes really tight,
Just as I thought felt a raindrop,
You suddenly held me tight.

I opened my eyes with slight alarm,
As you kissed me soft and sweet,
I remember that kiss like it was yesterday,
I still feel those raindrops on my cheek.

I tasted the rain like I never had before,
It was worth every second of bliss,
Every time I think of that moment,
I think of my raindrop kiss.

We sat close together on that one special rock,
And we held each other tight,
Then almost as sudden as it came,
The sun came out from beneath the rain.

The most beautiful colours I’ve ever seen,
Came out on the western sky,
The sun was setting and the moment was perfect,
More than any money can buy.

As the sun slowly set and the sky lit up,
You began carving our names in our special rock,
I told you I would never forget this moment,
In my heart this memory is locked.

As our names were finished and permanently engraved,
We watched the sun finish it’s day,
We slowly got up to leave this place,
Which was a year ago this may.

I haven’t been to that spot in a year,
Where did all the time go?
I will visit this place alone this time,
And I will finally have to let go.

The memory will be in my heart forever,
But you will not remain in my mind,
I don’t know if that love, will be seen again,
For that love I cannot find.

I will go to this spot as we promised we would,
But you will not be there this time,
Why is it that you can’t keep your promise,
I know that I’m keeping mine.

Never again will I taste the raindrops,
The way I did with you,
And when I go to this spot again,
I will say goodbye to you.
