And so I smile

I danced in the rain with your breath in my eyes

I wet my lips with happiness

We silently swayed to Sinatra in the rain

your sweet humming a soft caress

I felt alive again

and so I smiled ...

You have changed me

transformed me to a young girl again

rosy cheeks and starry eyes

hidden glances and romantic sighs

I feel young again

and so I smile ...

I choose to kiss you in the rain…For the rain is gentler than my lips
