I was the first raindrop On your once rosy cheek Masking teary eyes in a downpour Some part of you must have known The agony to exist only between the clouds Lightning striking at every touch And every breathe drawing thunder But still, you loved the rain From the silence before a storm And still moments of peace Before my wrath wreaked havoc Can you blame me? To be here and gone with the wind Just a sojourner, taking the world by storm Living each moment one droplet at a time As you dry your eyes I fade into the clouds Waiting to fall once more, to live.
