Kissed by a drop of rain.

Rolling cooly down my lips.

Kissed by a drop of rain.

So why aren't I serene?

Face turned toward the sky.

Arms held out,

smile stretched taught.

Arms now falling

(fading,

shrinking),

and I'm holding myself,

shivering

in the rain.

Caressed by a torrent of rain.

Wild hands of an absent lover.

Caressed by a torrent of rain.

So why does it feel so cold?

Water on my cheeks;

nature's misplaced tears.

Reaching the point

where it's all going numb.

Eyes downcast,

still shivering

in the rain.
