That night in the car

Still haunts me to this day.

We said our goodbyes,

Nothing more to say.

Then, as we rode back,

on top of the roof,

The rain began to chatter.

I started to cry,

And you asked

What was the matter.

You explained it again to me,

And I hated to accept it.

But like the rain,

my tears still came,

And I started to regret it.

It killed me inside

To know you couldn’t have me.

I wished so much that your touch

Could again comfort me, soothe me.

But it couldn’t this time,

As I realized this was the last time

I would ever see you.

I thought of that first day,

innocent, yet still adulterous

From then to now,

this to that,

Watching how our love grew

Into something so special,

something so sweet.

Then I heard the rain,

As I sat there

in that cold bucket seat.

I tried to shake that feeling

Of sorrow, anguish, emptiness

Only to find myself

Desperately fighting loneliness.

I rolled down the window

To rid me of that cigarette,

Reprimanding my naïve heart,

Good for you,

that’s what you get.

You knew where you were going

Even before you started.

Now the rain comes swiftly;

Two lonely hearts

will soon be parted.

And I think to that day,

As I was twisted in your chains.

And now because of you,

I hurt when it rains.
