Rainy Commute - ExChillCafe
Rain taps the roof like impatient fingers
We dash from the door, laughing lingers
One umbrella stretched wide for two
Your arm around me, shielding the blue
Puddles reflected our hurried steps
Wet shoes squeaking, no regrets
Bus doors hiss open, we squeeze inside
Your hand finds mine
Nowhere to hide, I
Rainy commute, carry us home
Through the gray where the city roams
We were close in the downpour's drum
Now the seat next to me stays numb
Rainy commute, wash it away
The ache that lingers day by day
Sweet were the storms we walked through
Sad is the quiet, without you
Window fogs from our breathing near
You draw little hearts, make them appear
I lean on your shoulder, eyes half-closed
City lights smeared like watercolor prose
Now the bus way's empty on my side
Rain streaks long, no place to confide
I trace the same spot on the glass so cold
Where your finger once wrote stories untold
Rainy commute, blur the lines
Between what was yours and what was mine
We shared the rhythm of tires on wet
Now it's just echoes I can't forget
Rainy commute, let it fall
Over memories, over it all
It's peaceful here in the pouring rain
But I miss you calling my name
Headphones in, same playlist we made
Your voice still hums in the serenade
Stop approaches, doors open wide
I step out alone into the tide
No hand to hold, no rush to share
Just rain on my face, and you're not there
Rainy commute, take me slow
Through the streets where the feelings show
We had our rides, we had our spark
Even if it ended in the dark
Rainy commute, rainy commute
It's all right, keep falling through
Umbrella folded, seat stays empty
Rain keeps coming, home without you
