RAINDROPS ON MY ARMS
(Me Without You)

I reached for you,
and you weren't there.
I felt the raindrops on my arms,
and wished that you were here.

You were my everything.
You were my world,
my atmosphere,
my future.

Somewhere between the wisps
that made up my life, and my future,
something got lost,
and I was left with nothing.

And what was lost from the storybook pages
of my story
was the word "you",-
that you took with you and walked away with.

And I was left with the word "me" without "you."
And I had to find a way to live without you.
With the raindrops on my arms.

Should it be "That you took with you when you walked away." ?

Does it matter? *stares at the waves crashing on the lake* All I care about is feeling the wind tearing at my hair.
