Yesterday’s storm turned into today’s light rain;
it’s as if you are right here with me 
shouldering the waves of ache.

Emptiness fills the places you once occupied;
the bare reminders spark memories that become
my source of knowing laughter and sudden cries.

I miss you as much as I did yesterday,
so I’ll turn to the rain,
let each drop fall 
sweep my hand to brush the ones that land upon me
with love and care,
fulfilling a wish that they are parts of you that I see everywhere.
