[bodytext] => She waits the hours in the rain
That teems and stains her overcoat; Buttoned high as if to hide the fear She cowers from: nobody will come; Listening for a pattern of footfall in the hiss, And quietly grateful to the chill slanting wet That cools and balms hot cheeks; Leaving tiny rivulets of disguised excuses For tears she can later deny. Then you are there and cup her face, And wrap her smile round your own; You bend to take one kiss, no more; A soft blanket around lingering hopes To her warm awhile as you turn away, And footsteps fade back into raindrops, Leaving her to wait again, Uncaring of the drench.
