Not Alone (Revised)
by Sieglinde

She loved the rain
he hated it
but loved her
She loved him
He was her everything
She was his life
He was serious
and careful
She had many quirks
Everytime it rained, she insisted he go with her and dance
Everytime she insisted, he refused
and asked her to stay inside with him
As much as she loves to be with him, the rain beckons her
She asks him one more time
He gives the same answer
Out in the rain she goes
All by herself
Twirling
Running
Laughing
Soon his world stops
Her laughing has dissapeared
The love seems lost
She is gone
Only remaining in memories
He stares at her pillow
Not wanting to believe it
One day it rains
He went outside and sank to his knees
For the first time since she died, the numbness he felt turned into tears
The harder he cried, the harder it poured
He stood up and started to twirl
He dances
He runs
He laughs
She is with him
She drenches him with her love
And there he stays
Dancing with her in the rain
Just as she always wanted
