Just Dancing In The Rain Poem by Stephen Morris

In two worlds so far apart, hes got you, but I have your heart,
Why did we meet, and what does it mean, I wish this pain,
I could have forseen;

I remember when I first met you, my heart skipped a beat,
The prettiest eyes ever, and a smile just as sweet,
But in those eyes, I saw a saddness, somewhere deep inside,
A fear and confusion, of love gone wrong,
That even your smile cannot hide,

A prison of love back in the day,
But now more like 'just a prison' you say;
For you to escape, to finally be free,
Is not as easy as it seemed to be;

As you talked, we danced, I held you so tight,
I will never forget our very first night;
The rain gently fell, but neither seemed to mind,
We were lost in a world somewhere in time;

The night seemed enchanted, enchanted yet strange,
I was falling in love, yet I knew not your name;
How could this be, I did not understand,
Yet I knew it felt right to just hold your hand;

You also said it felt quite strange,
This connection we felt, just dancing in the rain;
The stars were fading, and soon it would be light,
Thus ending our brief, but magical night;

I knew I would never see you again,
If I let you walk away,
But it seemed I had no choice, as the night turned to day;
As I kissed your lips, a tear crossed your cheek,
And I knew I'd never again meet a girl so sweet;

We agreed, to meet again, would be decided by fate,
As was this very first night we met,
But if not to be, we both knew, that we never would forget;

As you turned to walk away, the reason all became clear,
The reason we had met, right now, right here,
I had to look twice, at first hard to believe,
But there was the sign of your pain and your grief;

The scar of a cross, burned onto your neck,
Evidence of a life, you could never forget;

This can't be real, not what it seems,
Could you really be her, the girl in my dreams?

I have dreamed of her since about age ten,
And each dream ends the same,
I'm kneeling down and crying, holding her in the rain;

Logic tells me this can't be,
But inside I feel it's true,
For in the dream, we were together, but in 1482;

Her family rich, my family poor,
We knew we'd never be,
So we planned to run away together,
and live forever free;

They learned about our secret plot, And took her far away,
I made a vow to never forget, and searched both night and day,

Soon I found my love, my life,
But through arranged marriage,
She was anothers wife,
Mean and cruel, he locked her away,
Along with other wives, held captive like prey;

Although the brand of a cross meant he owned her forever,
That she'd always be his wife,
She chose to play her only hand,
And take her own sweet life;

I got there late, as she lay dying,
Just held her hand, Both of us crying;
She placed her hand upon my face,
And wiped my tears away,
She said I love you,
Please don't cry, for we will meet again one day;

So here we are, or is it us?
I may just be insane, to think I lived a life before,
With this girl here in the rain;

I want to say whats on my mind,
But all my words are lost,
So I just asked a simple question,
Where did you get that cross?

She turned around with that cute smile,
And said my love don't you know?
He thought he owned me, that I was his,
Oh so long ago;

My family thought they could keep us apart,
Take me away from my one true heart,
But like I told you, if you remember back then,
I love you, don't cry, we will meet again!

Maybe our lives are all intertwined,
We're just not supposed to know,
Just maybe our life has many lives,
Before we finally go;

So the next time you meet someone,
You feel you've known before,
It might be more than just a feeling,
You never can be sure;

We held each other tight,
As the sun began to rise,
I gently kissed her lips,
And looked into her eyes,
We finally found each other,
Just dancing in the rain,
Knowing this time,
We would never part again!
