Afraid of getting wet

I look around as the rain comes down

In the dimly lit night sky

I look at the shining leaves

They are enjoying the touch of droplets

I am just sitting on the side

Afraid of getting wet

Some children going crazy

A mother trying to stop her son

I am just sitting on the side

Afraid of getting wet

The soil is absorbing the water

Smelling so good

I am just sitting on the side

Afraid of getting wet

An old man smiling into the horizon

His wife smiling at him

I am just sitting on the side

Afraid of getting wet

I look around as the rain comes down

In the dimly lit night sky

I look at myself

Wanting to go out and let loose

But I am just sitting on the side

Afraid of getting wet
