Lately

There's just something about the pitter-patter of rain

              As it falls down from heaven

It reminds me of a lot of things

              Things I wish I've forgotten


It reminds me of the times we would stay inside

             While the water wash over the world

While we let it erase everything else outside

             We cuddle and breathe each other


It reminds me of the faucet at our first apartment

             It was a rhythmic torture, driving me insane

Until you told me this story about your childhood days

             Your voice was the melody against that rhythm


It reminds me of that typhoon

            When you called and said you couldn't be home

With the pitter-patter and howling of the winds

           I slept on that big bed alone


But lately it just reminds me

           Of the pitter-patter of words from your lips as you told me your lies

Of the pitter-patter of your steps away from me after our last fight

           Of the pitter-patter of tears I cried as everything you did and what happened finally dawned on me


Lately it reminds me

            Of the pitter-patter of my own steps away from our memories
