Eluding her eyes, averting


Looking to the side


He watches as the raindrops


Fall from the umbrellas side


Looking down in guilt he sees


Her feet are clad in boots


Standing in a puddle


But he doesn't think ; he seems aloof


He wants to turn his back on her


Turn and walk away


But he can feel her eyes upon him


And he knows he's not OK


Putting one hand in his pants


Eager for distraction


He finds a ticket in his pocket


And thinks of taking action


He braves himself to look at her


And gauges what she's thinking


He sees that she's still holding hope


And dismayed his mood starts sinking


I got to go, he mumbles


And she raises an eyebrow


I guess ill see you next time


That's if you'll allow


She doesn't answer and he turns


And walks quickly away


He doesn't want her to see his tears


Or the pain he tries to allay


She watches him get smaller


And in her mind she thinks


Its sad to see him angry


But worse when his mood sinks


Sighing she will gather


Her thoughts and actions to


Get home and out of this rain


This relationship she will rue
