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
