WHEN THE RAINS COME (PLEASE READ)

The rain comes pouring down as I sit by my window,
I envision us just as we once were, when I could 
touch you, hold you and I knew you were mine, all
this before that fatal night I can see it so vividly when
you were gone in a twinkling of a eye.



I can still recall the first one up making breakfast, and 
your plate is always there upon my table, even if I don't eat 
a bite. I have often ate yours since it is so much better 
than mine. I love when you get up from the table and 
thank me for a excellent meal, bush my hair back from 
my eyes and kiss my forehead, my nose, my mouth.

Baby, I know I hold you in such high esteem and
I know there can never be another you. It is not that
you were the best man in the world, but you were my
man and so I guess you will always be the best man
especially for me. 

I know there are others, that I could have the chance 
to be with someone else, to be happy again. But, it is 
not fair to the man that will fill your shoes, your bed
and my heart.

I try to let go. I have put all your pictures away to 
only pull them out of the drawers I have put them in to 
take a peek, yet my heart is weak. I eventually pull
them all out again and place them neatly all over the 
house. I told myself after the first six months that I 
would not have a shrine in your honor since it would
be too much. I often wonder what people must say? 
I find that when I have company I put all your 
pictures up out of sight but never out of mind.   

I don't hide you baby, or the feelings I have for 
you still, but I don't mentioned you to family or 
friends. There are only very few people that I can 
share my feelings about you with. I admit I do blog 
about you, just as I am doing now. 

I have honestly done everything within my power to 
let you go.I have asked you to leave, no I have begged 
you to leave, then only to beg you to stay since you will 
think that I do not love you still. Yes, I have had therapy 
I have blogged about my grief , I have been on
 antidepressants, and nothing has helped. You are the
 first person I think about in the morning and the last person
I think about before I go to sleep. 

There is someone, there has been someone for a long
time but by this point I do not even know if they know 
they can take me seriously. I have never made love
 to them, never kissed them, yet I hold them at bay,
but they are never far from my heart or my thoughts.
I am not even sure that they know how I feel about them. 
They have had women come or go in there life, and yes I was 
jealous. I keep telling myself that I cannot be with them or 
anyone until I am over you for good. But, Baby I have no clue 
when that will be. 

I will not speak bad of Blake, but baby I don't even know 
what that was. I am not one to have a cheap torrid affair 
with someone I am not in love with. I willed my self to be in 
love with Blake. I wanted to be in love with him really, but
 you can't force something that is not there. He said, to 
me on more than one occasion that I was in love with
 a dead man, and a dead man slept between us at night. I 
don't know why? Blake was the last person on the face  
of the earth I wanted to mention your name to. But, I 
know I didn't have to mention you because he felt it. Then 
you would think that someone so upset or having to live with 
a dead man would have given up and went away without
 all the drama. I did care for Blake, I just wasn't in love
with him. 

It is still raining on me. Still raining in my life from the tears I
shed. I am sure that people think I am putting on, that no
one could love someone this much, but that could not be
further from the truth. I suppose I have grown accustom 
to having you in my life, thoughts, mind and heart everyday.
I fill my life with as much sunshine as I can muster, but 
my thoughts always return to you. The life we could have 
had. The life I always dreamed of. The Life I always wanted.
The Fairy Tale.

I think of how God gives us that one special person in life, some 
do not recognize them when they see them, some want 
someone else other than who they are destined to be with.
 But, there are those who just know.They know this person 
was sent from God just as I did with you my love. I hear parents 
saying oh they are too young, and that they do not have any
idea what they want at this age. But, baby we proved them
wrong didn't we? 


I would be with you the rest of my life and we met in middle school. 
I loved that you were shy. I loved that you said I was the prettiest girl 
you had ever seen and you made me feel that way for many years 
until the Lord took you to be with him. You were my soul mate
my one true love. 

But, baby the rain comes far to often, I feel lost and alone and no
one should feel that way. Baby, I know you want me happy. I know 
it is not you holding on to me, but me not letting go. No one was out 
there that night after I found you, as I held you. I once came up with
another story a short and sweet one, so I didn't have to keep reliving
the horror.



But, I do relive the horror everyday, I shed tears as I write this now.
I think if you had died of natural causes if would be better for me. 
I still remember that stretch of road, and when ever I go home I 
have to stop by and look out into that farmers field. There are
flowers up near the road, but not where you died. I always 
visit your parents when I am home, yet I haven't been home in 
over a year now. I still talk to your mama and I know she loves 
me since I was part of you. My only regret is not having a baby
since you were a only child. But, we both discussed it, and it 
was not the time to have a child since we were both in pursuit 
of our careers. But, I will always regret not having a little Jason
Aaron Taylor II. I so wish that you could live on through me.

I will always love you Jason. Please help me set myself free. 
So that I can love again, dream again, and make someone
else happy the way I did you. I do find this personal
yet I want the person I care about to know why I do
not jump at any offers he has gave to me. I know he cares
although, he must believe me to be insane by now, I need
to be a complete, healthy and emotionally stable person
before I can ever take that step again.



HAVE YOU EVER SAW THE RAIN IN A HEART LIKE MINE?
