Missing Him

Rain traces paths of tears down the window at my nose
My eyes refocus on the stretching, blinking skyline 
I imagine that each twinkling light is
A few friends hugging
A mother singing her children to sleep
A couple dancing cheek to cheek
I shift in the straight-backed chair and let my eyes rest
I know you too, are thinking of me
Sitting on the far side of this cold, thick glass
I begin to mimic the rain
