Moonlight Through The Rain Poem by Allysyn Bryant

It’s raining softly tonight
Through the rain I see the moonlight
It’s beautiful
The way that the rain catches the light
Ever so lightly, you can hear the rain fall
Holding my breath, though I don’t know why
Afraid that if I don’t it’ll go away
It’s so precious, a small gift from above

Makes me wanna go out and run
Run, dance, sing, and play
All out in the rain
Nothing would be better, practically paradise
I smile, the rain reminds me of him

Suddenly from nowhere, I hear his voice
Softy, I hear him declare his love for me
Looking around me, I’m alone
Then realize he’s not here, he’s not saying those things
It’s coming from my own memory
In the moonlight, through all the rain
I see him standing there, clear as day
I blink he’s gone again
He was never really there

Crazy, I know
The guy I love, seemingly coming to me
Not possible, considering how far away he is from me
When my world falls apart, it’s him I see
He’s like the light at the end of a tunnel
Always keeping me going, no matter how far I am
Without him, I don’t know what I’d do.
As I sit and write this, I wonder, is he thinking of me?

Cuz I’m thinking of him
Sitting here, by my window
Watching the moonlight through the rain.
