We found our peace in a dreary Spring afternoon
Standing on my front porch, overlooking an empty world
Where all that mattered were these two kids, holding hands
With a weather watch for lighting and a warning for gloom
The rain came pouring opening up the blackened skies
We laced our fingers and ran recklessly into the downpour
Twirling a neurotic dance, our hair flattened, wet against our faces
We kissed for an eternity and found Heaven in each others eyes
You became the silent image that continually haunted my dreams
A beautiful, solemn shadow, a piece of nothing special turned extraordinary
I never pictured that infamous, screaming storm that you hid so well
I never saw it yelling, breaking, tearing us apart at the seams
Two years seemed like a lifetime of crying, begging, trying and failing
I gave you my heart and countless second chances and forgiving embraces
Our life was like a chaotic thunderstorm of mutual love and hate
I kept pressing, trying, and pleading and yet whenever it rained it was hailing
There was always love, buried deep within our mountain of despair
Soon we drifted away, lost who we once were, and our hearts grew silent
I still held your hand, felt for you every single moment of single day
I still fell for your eyes and ran my fingers through your hair
My dearest love, you will still own a piece of my heart a forever from now
We'll let go of each other as the ultimate gesture of kindness
Whenever you need someone to guide you, I'll always be there to hold your hand
We'll find our way on our own separate paths, someway, somehow
I'll always remember you as the smile that stole me once upon a time
The laugh that could brighten my day, just a little patch of happiness
Your modesty, your charm, your wonderful way of making me feel beautiful
I'll never let go of what we had, and I'll always think of you when it rains outside
