It rained this morning. <br />I could have sworn <br />I saw you dancing <br />in the puddles <br />water trickling from your hair <br />like teardrops. <br /> <br />I could have sworn <br />I heard you laughing <br />at the thunder <br />your eyes afire <br />reflecting the lightning <br />like mirrors <br /> <br />I thought to join you. <br />I even looked for our umbrella <br />but it wasn't where you'd left it <br />Still, I had to join you. <br />So I dashed outside <br />into the rain. <br /> <br />I looked for you beside the puddles <br />but I didn't see you dancing. <br />I was puzzled for a moment <br />Till I remembered that you'd left me <br />And I remembered you don't love me <br />anymore <br /> <br />I felt so silly <br />thinking that I saw you <br />An honest mistake <br />I'm sure, <br />but I stood there beside the puddles <br />listening for your laughter in the thunder <br /> <br />water trickling from my hair <br />into my eyes <br />and down my cheeks <br />like teardrops.<br /><br />TP Sage<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-honest-mistake-2/
