Close your eyes and kiss the rain

Let the bitter sweetness linger on your lips

Icy chills make your the skin tingle

Harsh winds lick at peeking goosebumps

Your face is warm yet you shiver

Seemingly tranquil but only a cover

An umbrella is of no use if it catches the rain

But nothing can keep the drops from falling
