sweet flavors and bitter aftertastes

It's raining again

Just like that day I can't help but remember

But wish I couldn't recall

You're there,

Smiling at me with that same goofy grin

That I always wanted to slap off your face

Although now,

I wish more than anything

To be able to see it once more

You're kicking puddles in the rain

While your arms are outstretched

And your smile is tasting the sky's tears

What does it taste like?

Is it sweet like this moment

Or bitter like its memory

You take me in your wet arms

Soaking my dress in your embrace

I want to feel the warmth of your skin

But all I feel is

Is the beating of your heart

If longing memories could be relived

I would have died a thousand times over

Just to be there in that rain

With you

It's raining again

Just like that day

I see you in my memory

But

I opened my eyes

And when I looked again, you were gone
