five

they met in a hurricane, standing in the shelter out of the rain
she tucked a note into his hand.
later on they took his car drove on down where the beaches are, he wrote her name in the sand
never even let go of her hand
somehow they stayed that way for those five days in may made all the stars around them shine
funny how you can look in vain, living on nerves and such sweet pain - the loneliness that cuts so fine
to find the face you've seen a thousand times
