As it started to rain
You seemed in a hurry to say goodbye.

Let's talk about something...anything.
I want to be with you a little longer.

If I let go of your hand,
I will never hold it again.
I've bravely closed my eyes against
emotions that are overwhelming me.

I won't cry until it's over.
Even though that face and voice
are tearing my heart apart.
Why did this happen? I don't want to
believe it... with all these memories.
I love you too much.

I can't even speak,
though my heart cries out.
If I keep holding you back like this,
you'll be soaked by the rain.

In a quiet, protective way,
you gently wrap your hands around mine.
Some day, my memories of this
will all fade away.

Without looking back, you say,
"We'll meet again some day,"
the final promise I was waiting for.
I know we can never share the
same dreams again, but....
I wish I could stop time like this.

I don't cry until it's over.
Once you can't see me,
my courage melts away.
I don't want to believe...I still
can't...with all these memories.
I love you too much.
