Written in twenty minutes of deep sorrow...

***********

I wanted sunshine

And we got the rain.

And when I met you

That night in London

Your smile told me something,

Reflected in a puddle of rain.

Was it the end of a journey?

Was it the end of an affair?

Was it me?

Was it you?

Was it the beginning of the end?

I wanted sunshine

But we got the rain.

And sometimes,

When it rains in London

I walk alone in Maiden Lane

And I search for your smile

But I can only find

Myself

Reflected in a puddle of rain.

I wanted sunshine,

But hey, I got the rain.
