The Best and Worst Things Happen in the Rain

I feel the rain pounding down on my back as I run,
Run from everything that's hurting me.

I run until I feel your arms wrap around me,
And instantly, I know I'm safe.

Your sapphire eyes remind me of the oceans waves,
So clear and beautiful, yet so confused and dull,
Your hair, wet down from the rain, sticks up everywhere,
Your lips purse in a worried line.

I forget everything that's wrong in my life when I look at you,
Is this love, or a fairytale?

I hear you whisper soft words in my ear,
As you wipe away the tears I didn't know I shed.

You hold me close and let me cry,
Silently stroking my hair, and letting out a deep sigh.

You tell me everything will be okay,
That you're here, and are never going away.

I look up at you and smile slightly, watching as you smile back,
I wrap my arms around your neck, and know you're being truthful,
I know you won't leave me.

And suddenly, you disappear like chalk in the rain,
Leaving no trace but a memory of what was once there.

Hmm. Very well written. Good flow. In certain places it rhymes but other places it doesn't. That doesn't really affect how the poem goes though. Your writing style is very good, but some does need improvement, as I'm sure everyone else's is always subject to improvement.

I can relate to this.. Especially recently, when I thought I lost one of those who I truly care for. But also back in April, and even back in the 8th grade. Good write, kid.
