It Feels Like That

Pouring rain pounding upon your skin,
You ran out but should you run back in?
The puddle of decisions you just can't make...
It feels like that.

His lips touched yours and you felt so alive,
Without that in your life, can you survive?
You wonder this question every day...
It feels like that.

She said, "Yes," and the date's been set,
How high of a feeling can one get?
I know how she feels, like when he asked me...
It feels like that.

There is more to do but the clock says "bed,"
There are pages unturned yet to be read.
I'm dying to know if they end up together...
It feels like that.

The boy sounds it out, the boy can read,
He looks at the ceiling with eyes that plead,
"Help me, God, get better at this"...
It feels like that.

Standing at the kitchen sink the dishes call,
Water runs gently over a manmade fall,
Strong and demanding his arms wrap me in...
It feels like that.

He pulls me away and the fireworks flare,
Bursting lights filling up the air,
Breathe in, breathe out...
It feels like that.
