Come With The Rain

Why is the rain always such a sad thing?
You always came with it.
And now its pouring,

Your words are burned to this cd,
and I wonder why I never came up with these words myself.  

How can anyone be this beautiful?
This perfect.

I wander around the house,
revisiting the spots we've laid in...
thinking of all the things you do
and say when you're around.

I walk to my room,
and lay down in this bed,
lay down where your head used to sit.

"Will you take your hair down? I like it when its messed up."

I paint my face,
pretending you'll come by and see me,
and kiss
this lipstick away.
I curl my hair,
for you to ruin.
I shave my legs,
for you to touch.
I wash these bedsheets for you to lay in.
I spray perfume,
for you to notice
when you hug me good-morning.
But its always good-bye

"I try all the tricks that I never thought would work."

Everything I do,
is pushed by you.
You motivate me.
I do everything you say you love about me.
I do everything I can to impress you...
and amazingly enough,

...I don't have to change myself to love you...

It stopped raining.
and I know I won't see you today
So I lay down
a g a i n
in this bed
where we make love
and you come again
with the rain of my eyes

    Rain is one of the most beautiful things in the world. It's strangely inspiring...I love it when it rains. You and Ben are so perfect for each other...Love is the greatest emotion...of all time...and I'm jealous you've found it, and I haven't, not like that...Amazing work, as always. I love you. -Jena
