I look up to the gray sky
Enjoying the drops of rain
Collapsing on my face
And I close my eyes
And I wrap my arms around me
To warm me, protect me
From the cold, blackness closing up on me
Chilling my bones, darkening my heart
Everything cherished seems dying
The fire slowly extinguishes
And a sound of despair escapes
Once again, there is no other way out
Rain can no longer be distinguished
From tears of sadness on my cold skin
And then I smile, for I think of you
And I laugh
And I wonder…
…Is it so strange that I still love you?
