it is often said
that those who deserve the sun,
too often receive the rain.

but what if i said i love the rain?
that the droplets of water
upon your tan skin
beat the heat waves, any day?

would my punishment
be replaced with flames-
would i go to hell?
that's what they tell me, anyways.

either way,
i'm not ashamed to say
this is who i am

and my god, do i love the rain.
