Kissing in the Rain
boy and girl kiss in the rain
gods tears streaming down their face
he bites her lips
and she pulls back
but he comes down harder
and brings her back
and she lets him
boy and girl kiss in the rain
tears streaming down her face
but he'll never tell
because he thinks this is romantic
because he can't tell the difference between the salt and the clear
and she kisses him back
she kisses him back hoping to feel what he feels
boy and girl kiss in the rain
he's in love
she's not
and as their lips dance together
mashing and crashing
she prays that it will soon end because she can't take much longer
he's in love
and she's not
boy and girl kiss in the rain
and finally they pull apart
he smiles like a boy in love
and she tries to keep from crying
because she knows that she must break his heart
boy and girl walk in the rain
silently
awkwardly
there is no love
boy and girl walk in the rain
and the girl wonders why she can't feel love
and the girl wonders why it isn't like the movies
and the girl wishes that her mascara wasn't pouring down her face
and the boy doesn't notice because he thinks its from the rain
and the boy doesn't notice her tears because he's too upset that she doesn't want him
and the boy doesn't notice her tears are different from gods
and so they walk silently
and the girl wishes that she had never kissed this boy in the rain
and the girl wishes that there was no rain
because then maybe he would notice something other than himself
and then maybe she could love him
and then maybe they could truly kiss in the rain
