I Wish You Were Here

Aliyah Shelton 2007 (Bloomington Indiana)



A raindrop falls from the sky,
I follow it patiently with my eye,
Splashing into a crystal clean puddle,
Rippling movements ever so subtle,
Something reflects I can't not believe,
A figure I can not mentally perceive,
Those beautiful eyes staring so lovingly,
That soft warm smile that calms me internally,
Yet that reflection isn't me, it is you
Eyes so flawlessly baby blue,
Now I can only wish you were here,
Because I am lonely since you are not near,
Slowly you disappear into the rain,
For me to never see again.
