Lovelorn Poet in Long Island, NY: If Only

If Only

I really thought I was ok
I really thought I was just fine
But when I woke up this time
There was nothing to take me back to sleep
To take you off my mind, this time
I keep saying
Over and over and over and over again,
Let it rain, let it rain
I need to hide within the storm
So have the lightning come
And bring the winds that scream
And spill the fog all over town
And you’ll be washed away
You’ll be washed away…….

Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:

Coastal storms can be terrible, beautiful, and terribly beautiful. The power of a turbulent ocean combined with high winds and a blinding downpour can leave you cowering for cover – but when the destruction has passed what is left behind seems clear and fresh and new. Fortunately for our lovelorn Long Islander, the summer storms are right around the corner.
