I am the rain,
Holding my skirt,
I descend from my abode,
To be with you.
I tap on your windows,
Hoping you'd see me,
Waiting for you to embrace me,
So I could be with you.
I wish you would want to listen to me,
To the secrets I have to tell,
And I uncomplainingly wait,
To breathe songs into your ears.
I slide down your hands,
Savouring every little inch of them,
If only you'd wrap me around your fingers,
And make me stay.
But you don't,
And I slither down you,
I glide past your windows,
Flow down your walls,
Drip down every thing that's yours,
I slide away
Away
Away...
I was the sadness of the heavens wrapped up in the tears,
You, the happiness of the earth curved up into a smile,
Maybe we were never meant to be.
