evaporate
I remember that October day
Pavement dark and rainclouds gray
Light brown eyes that were a maze
Made sudden sense through misty haze
I still believe you touched my heart
With rain and storms and Cupid’s dart
They transformed love to something more
Someone as young as I never felt before
My blood was fevered and yours was wild
I never felt less like a child
You pulled me close I bit your lips
We lost ourselves like sinking ships
I felt beautiful soaked to the bone
A street-long world for us alone
A love declared the Shakespearean way
Promises that haunt me to this day
It’s hard to tell love from desire
Especially when you’re drunk on fire
Declarations in the rain never last
They evaporate when the storm’s past
