Dancing in the Rain

We ran through the woods laughing,

desperately chasing that cloud.

We had to dance in the rain,

it was our mission,

until we stumbled upon this ancient garden.

Both of us inhaled deeply

as we took in our surroundings,

gazing widely.

The cloud we had been chasing stopped,

as if it, and we,

had reached the purpose of our destination.

The rain started to sprinkle lightly upon us,

sheltering my eyes from it

I looked up at him,

and he was smiling.

How that smile melted me.

I smiled back at him

and he grabbed my hands

throwing me into motion.

There we danced in the rain,

the music of it falling on the water

was the perfect rhythm for our feet.

I don't remember how long it lasted

only that I didn't want it to end.

At the end of our dance

he leaned in kissed me softly.... Yep, magical.

I smile looking into the rain.

I don't try and shelter my eyes anymore.
