I saw you, Matthew, in the rain today,

your hood pulled up, but I knew right away.

The mall was crowded, the skies were gray,

but my heart leapt in that familiar way.

You stood there, laughing with your friend,

a smile so cute, I wished time wouldn't end.

Raindrops fell, but I barely knew,

lost in the sight of just seeing you.

I passed by slowly, hoping you'd see,

yet nervous flutters took over me.

Your smile lingered, my heart beat fast,

that moment felt too good to last.

Though rain poured down, you didn't know

how seeing you made my heart glow.

One fleeting second, gone too soon,

but it left me dreaming all afternoon.
