When It Rains In Southern California

BY Chy

When it rains in Southern California

You become all warmth and care—

Affection in every touch,

Your presence is soft and quiet. 

When it rains in Southern California

I feel your soul slowly pour onto mine

As you speak of your youth

With a smile full of nostalgia

When it rains in Southern California

Your tears fall freely.

You rest in my lap

As your temperature rises with the rainfall.

When it rains in Southern California

I dream of a quiet home

With warm lamps in every corner

As their soft light reminds me of you.

When it rains in Southern California

We dance at our wedding

As the night comes to a close

And we are the only ones left.

When it rains in Southern California

You sing sweet soulful tunes

Your voice changes in every high note

Full of pain and love.

When it rains in Southern California

I see a young girl

She has your eyes and soft wonder.

And I love her.

When it rains in Southern California

Your eyes widen

And stare wildly

And pierce right into my heart.

When it rains in Southern California

You keep me warm

As the wind blows

And your arms give me shelter.

When it rains in Southern California

The world slows down 

It all feels surreal 

Cause it never rains in Southern California. 

When it rains in Southern California 

That’s when you show me love 

And I hate to be selfish 

But I wish it would rain in Southern California til the day I die.
