The rain falls softly once again outside my windows
The streets of Portland start to glow stained with oil and dirt
I look in amazement at the mantel above the fireplace
The photo of us on the coast holding hands
How I wish I could have found you earlier in life
How I wish I could have shown you the love all that time that we have now
That smile
You look so complete
I feel the same
Hour after hour
Every day with you a prayer never said but still answered
Like a summer dream
but the sun in that photo is set and I’m sitting here as the rain falls outside
The streets just quiet hours ago are now filled with bustling feet and traffic farther than the eye can see
The voices
The cars honking horns
and the rain starting to fall hard
I sit here with my coffee
Steaming and hot
Just like our memories on the coast
Now, your footsteps across the room
My heart has found it’s home…
