A raindrop plopped on my nose
I raised my gaze up to the grey sky
I opened my umbrella, I offered you one, too
But you shook your head no, I wonder why?
As you smiled and danced and twirled
The rain grew harsh and cold
I sulked and complained about the horrible weather
I couldn’t stand it anymore
So, I ran under a parking shed
And watched the rain soak everything wet
I shivered as cold crawled up my spine
But you danced there, looking alright
I frowned at the storm, waiting for it to stop
You ran towards me and pointed at a rainbow
But all I could see were pale grey clouds
And the flaring rain crying with sorrow
You pulled me into the terrible showers
We were standing in the same rain
But I couldn’t understand why you were delighted
By this thunderstorm that caused me only pain
I followed your footsteps and
Set my umbrella aside for a minute
I laughed and twirled like you were doing
When I realized ‘The world morphs into how you see it.’
