Samuel Ludke's poem looks back on a relationship that has ended, and the speaker seems caught between gratitude and hurt. The opening lines are warm: sunshine, a better day, a love shared by two people. But the tone shifts quickly. "There is my life / There is yours" draws a plain line between them, as if the couple have now become separate.
The most striking idea is the rain. The speaker says it "spoke" to the beloved, made them notice the speaker, and led to a kiss. Rain is usually gloomy, yet here it brings the two together, and it also seems to explain why the speaker kept loving someone who left. The logic is a little puzzling, which suits the confusion of loss.
The ending is quiet and sore: something in the other person's mind hurts the speaker. The mood is tender, wistful and unresolved, with love still present alongside the ache of not knowing what the other person thinks.
