rain

pelting. painful. comforting.

you're standing there in it's embrace.
hair plastered to your face
goosebumps and sporadic shivers.

still,
head just tilted oh so slightly,
with your lips just that bit parted.

it's the sum of its sensations
the smell that permeates you
the tingle that trickles down to your toes.

like sheets of monochrome privacy.

it's so much more than everything.
