I hear the rain again.

I hear the rain again.
Continuous, uninhibited, free.
Your thoughts flood my mind.
I feel the pangs of your memory.

The distance does me no good.
I am enveloped by the longing.
Conversations deceive me not,
I desire your presence for evermore.

I hear the rain again.
Bringing back to me recollections
Of when we were together, and happy.
Real but so unreal.

I feel like a vase, hollow and empty.
I seek you vainly, even memory escapes me.
Why my love, why must it be so.
To rot in this farce of virtual togetherness.

I hear the rain again.
New wishes, new hope.
The strength to break the bonds of this uncertainty.
A new lease of life to this love.

Come back to me,
Even if for a fleeting moment.
Like the rain that falls around me and then disperses.
Permit me this one true wish.
