• It's like a magic potion,
    it hides away our tears...
    But it provides us with so much emotion,
    so many thoughts and fears.

    It unites all of human kind,
    in one way or another,
    It keeps us active in our mind,
    Thinking of our sisters and brothers...

    And even when it doesn't rain,
    Some of those thoughts continue to remain.
    Whether the weather is cloudy or clear,
    we think of those whom we hold dear.

    Wanting them to stay safe and secure,
    Wanting to help them to stay pure,
    and to hold them when it begins to pour,
    and heal the emotional hurts and sores.

    Being so far from the one you love,
    is like looking up into the sky,
    and seeing a small, lonely dove,
    searching and wondering 'why?'...

    ...Why the world must be so cruel,
    to keep us so far apart...
    and why must it steal the fuel,
    that flows through our very hearts?

    Being so far away, from the one I hold dear,
    Makes me want to gush forth a surge of red tears.
    To insert the knife, and turn the blade,
    and end my world, filled with hate.

    I hate my life,
    I live for love,
    I love to hate,
    I hate for fun.

    Their is only one person,
    whom I could never hate,
    That person is the girl,
    Destined to be in my fate...

    You know who you are,
    You know how I care,
    you know we live afar,
    and it's because this world's unfair.

    I wish you were here,
    to prevent the sparkle in my eye,
    being away from you, I fear,
    is what's causing me to cry.

    To prevent these tears each day,
    I sit back and think,
    of all the things I wish to say,
    before losing them in a blink.

    I don't knot what it is,
    that refuses to let me die,
    being away from you like this,
    It's causing me to cry.

    And so I seek shelter, inside the rain,
    and use it as a cloak, to cover up the pain,
    I know this poem is getting long, so just let me say...
    Erika, my dear, I love you more and more, each and every day.
