RAIN AND YOU
On the glass pane of frozen desires,
little droplets of rain start to gather in playful haste.
Briefly they linger, dance, and knock into one another,
then fall carelessly down in eternal ecstasy.
From behind a closed window, quietly I stand and watch —
I don’t mind getting drenched in memories for a while
