Umbrella Kiss Poem

It hurt so much

Knowing you had walked away

Looking outside

Through the rain drenched window

I could still see your shadow moving away

The piercing in my heart would not stop

The short breaths became labored

As my soul shriveled up

The tears trailing my face

Dropping on the tiled floor

As if getting away from my burning eyes

I did not even remember

What day it was

The grass outside was wet and damp

The ground all soaked with rain water

I could not move

Yet I wanted to run after you

To tell you I needed you so much

I did not want you to leave me

My burry eyes kept blinking away the tears

Was you and me over for good

I did not understand

I could not remember

I wouldn’t accept

I didn’t know why

I had to run after you before it was too late

Stepping outside my door on the lawn

Your shadow was no longer visible

I had lost you

My outstretched arms reaching out

Only grabbing air

The pouring rain

Had no mercy on my almost lifeless demeanor

I was cold

My clothes were drenched

My hair stuck on my face in masses

My teeth began to clutter

Lips trembled because of the cold

I was on my knees trying to breath

Not knowing

Whether to cry or shiver

Suddenly the rain stopped beating down on me

My eyes were too wet to look  up

A hand lifted my chin up

And my lips were not trembling anymore

I had stopped shivering

Those warm lips were so familiar

The hands I recognized

The scent my whole body knew

My eyes opened

And I realized it had not stopped raining

I was under an umbrella you held

The umbrella kiss I had experienced was yours

You were back in my life

I held on tight and would not let go

You whispered to me

“I don’t know how to walk away from you”
