Decayedmatter's "Anniversary"
© 2003 Decayedmatter
The small droplets fall
As wait for your call.
I'm watching the rain
Falling, as feel the pain.
Do you still remember
The last time we've been together?
It was raining; we were both wet
When we met
In front of the coffee shop
Where we both drank a cup.
That was a long time ago.
That was the day you let go.
You called me on the phone
When I was home, alone.
You had to see me;
I was so happy.
I was glad you remembered our day.
I had to plan the things I wanted to say.
We've been with each other a long time...
A long time since you were mine.
I came down the stairs
And saw that weather was fair.
Left my umbrella by the door,
Thinking it wouldn't rain anymore.
I passed the park
Where we kissed in the dark;
Passed the street
Where we always meet;
Pass the store
That we had always adored...
Then came the rain pouring down
Soaking my favorite gown.
And there you were, smiling at me.
And we both went in for a cup of coffee.
When we were both done
And the coffee was gone,
Said thank you that you remembered our day;
Smiled and asked what you wanted to say.
You said you wanted to talk
While we took a walk.
It was raining, but it was fine.
It didn't matter that the sun didn't shine.
Outside, your smile faded away
And I wondered what you were going to say.
I began to get nervous
As you became more serious.
Were you going to propose now?
Were you going to give a vow?
You opened your lips slowly
And said that there was some other lady
Ruling over your heart
And now we have to part.
I was dumbfounded.
I wished I was dead.
You took my hand
As if trying to make me understand.
I stared cold-hard
You lying, cheating bastard...
How could I
Now that you're saying goodbye?
And this was our day!!!
So this was what you wanted to say!
How could you!
I loved you so true...
You turned away from me
And walked away until I could no longer see.
I'm left standing here, soaked
Feeling all the pain that you provoked.	
The small droplets fall
As wait for your call.
Cause I still love you...
Even if you're with someone new.
