A Chance to Hear the Rain

I'll write to give myself a chance to hear the rain

falling at night, I'll write, I promise.

Finding the outline of your face in the dark.

You barely move and with each breath

I lose you more. 

I'm letting myself know you

I'm letting my love show you.

I'm letting myself know you

I'm letting my love show you. 

That this marks our existence

that everything is in process

that sometimes all this will end

that nothing can stay the same

Nothing can stay the same 

we are in a state of impermanence.

Nothing can stay the same. 

I'm letting myself know you

I'm letting my love show you.

I'm letting myself know you

I'm letting my love show you.

I'll write to give myself a chance to hear the rain.

The darkness 

and the buildings 

and the strangers (why do I push against it?)

and the lone bird (why do I push against it?)

all impermanent 

And how I feel about you now.
