Do You Hear The Rain?

October rain..
dark dreary day
I lie in my bed and listen to the rhythm it makes on my roof
Outside the trees that just yesterday held such vibrant colors
look dark and dead.
I turn away from the window and see your head
on the pillow next to mine
a slow drowsy smile crosses your face
and your arms reach out for me....
and then you're gone again.
You lie in another bed.. alone
a few thousand miles away.
Do you hear the rain?
Do you see the darkness outside your window?
Do you feel the emptiness in your bed?
or do you imagine me there?
Do you see my smile shining with love for you?
Do you feel my arms reaching out to hold you?
I turn back to the window to see one golden leaf
a reminder of what once was..
It drifts slowly past the window...
and then off into the unknown.
and in that instant.. I know you do.
