raindrop kisses

i jumped out of the cloud when i saw you
dancing there, in circles on the beach

i had to try to reach you

i jumped, fearing suicide
kissed your cheek as i flew by
splashed onto the grains of sand
looked up to see you smile

i sparkle in the morning sun
but you
you shine alone
i've never known anyone
so colorful to view

my salty siblings are dried and gone
saturation shouldn't take too long
please soak me in
let me wet your skin
with raindrop kisses

let me flood your soul
with a love you've never known
