Fuck This Fucking Rain (The Poem)

"Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend." ~Albert Camus


The rain falls down,

all around me

pitter-patter, pitter-patter

I miss you

my friend. You are but a

memory, a shadow

on the wall.


It's pouring now, as I drive

down a long, winding road beneath

the dark night sky.

pitter-patter, pitter-patter

as it hits the ground. I

try


To find a song on

the radio, but

none can match, the

emptiness I feel inside now

that you're gone, only

the rain.

pitter-patter, pitter-patter


We hardly knew each

other, but

your effervescence inspired

me. The rain started

when you left.

A gentle reminder,


a cleansing, washing

the world around

me with it's sound,

pitter-patter, pitter-patter


short-lived

dreams, of climbing

mountains towards castles in

the sky, of Cuban

food and

writing


I had that feeling

before the rain came. I

could smell, even taste

it in the air. I wanted

to hold on


To that beautiful

day forever, but I had

to let you go. I

watched as you walked

away


I sighed


I cannot control

the weather, and I know

that it cannot rain

forever.

Some sunny day


our paths will cross

again

until then, good luck and

farewell my friend.
