This Fourth of July came with a day of showers

Clouds casted across the sky.

People complained and thought it a waste

Yet I feel it most justified.

Everything that captivates and awes me

Everything that inspires and energizes.

Thunderous roars, Bright wondrous lights

Rain showers and explosions.

A most amazing night, everything was right

I found only one thing out of place

Only one thing made it a waste

I only want to dance, I only want a kiss

Twirling to the rhythm, shaking to the beat

Laughing as we soak our feet

Under this amazing light show without a care

But then I look and your not there

No drowning as we kiss forgetting to breath

No running like children through the streets

It could be the most amazing memory

But it’s a waste. No tasting rain upon your face.

It’s almost a perfect moment, but your not here.

I search the area, finding you no where.

My heart skips and flutters.

My mind searches and wonders.

I look up feeling the rain dive into my skin

My lips spread and widen into a grin

But tears hide amongst the rain

Without you here it’s just not the same

Slowly I twirl pondering and wondering

Wishing and wanting, what this night could be

Knowing nothing of the innocence I never obtained

As I see other clutching hands in the rain.

Hungering to know what that must be like

Wondering what I’m missing out on during this night

Could it be that I just don't see

The picture though I stare at it constantly

Longing only to see your face

Wishing this night wasn’t a waste

Needing your lips to be in their place

Knowing I’ll never know this taste

The colors still rain through the air

But I walk home while I don’t care

This night was amazing but it’s a ruin

It means nothing without our union.
