The rain falls like diamonds in front of my headlights as bolts of lightning spilt the evening sky, illuminating the landscape as I head down the interstate. Driving like a maniac, I press my foot against the accelerator and hold firmly onto the steering wheel as my car drifts back and forth across the glassy lanes of the deserted highway.
Faster, and faster I drive as I strive to reclaim every minute, every second that the storm had stolen from us. For tonight, you will be mine and I will be yours when we finally meet for our midnight rendezvous.

Very descriptive. I love "rain falls like diamonds". I can completely visualize the silvers beads of the water on the road. Very sad, very good! Thanks for entering my contest
