You were there
Eyes boring into my soul
Taking a drag on your cigarette
Staring out the window
The muscles in your bare back
Flexing
Telling me you loved me
But...
You were there
Turning around
Looking for your shirt
Grabbing your keys
Kissing me goodbye
One last time
You were there
When it rained.
