Inspired by the song "The First Rain and You" by Benn Jordan (aka The Flashbulb)


The First Rain and You

Time slows as wet headlights
Reflect on the windows of the storefronts,
And we stand on the sidewalk
Trying to avoid the arresting splashes
That jump up at us from the sidewalk
As cars race by too quickly.

We laugh as we attempt to dodge
The floods of messy water,
And as the crystal raindrops strike our heads
We remind ourselves that though it is raining,
We don't need the heavy, black umbrella.

So we dance and prance as the deluge falls,
But we always return to each other
To take in the beauteous wet smiles
That tend to flood over our faces.

And I take you by my side and draw you closer
As the torrent keeps falling all around us,
And you begin to rest in the small indent in my chest.

My arm curves around you as you nuzzle in,
And I settle my glistening head over yours carefully.

And here we stand, soaking, as the rain inundates us.

We laugh as we attempt to dodge
The floods of messy water,
And as the crystal raindrops strike our heads
We remind ourselves that though it is raining,
We don't need the heavy, black umbrella.

Yes! I agree, a very romantic piece that flows to beautifully with loving imagery, there is no better feeling than dancing in the rain with the one you love. All the best times to you, Tai

I love the carefree feeling in this, it's almost child-like in essence. The visuals are also very well set. Thank You.
