喜欢雨的味道

do you know the smell of rain?
how can one describe it?


sitting at the window of my bright little room,
feeling the cold breeze on my left arm, 
i closed my eyes and take a deep breath, 
the night bird called, 
i closed my eyes and took another deep breath, 
trying to absorb all of these feelings. 


my one metre wide window wide open, 
there's only a net that prevents the bugs from coming in, 
can you smell this?
the freedom,
the peace, 
the quietness before the rain. 


how long will i still have,
moments like these? 

i love sitting by this window. 
if my father were here, he would freak out as i sat here so high up, 
don't do something so dangerous he would say, 
but i love this peace, love this cold breeze, 
if i could, i would put my feet out, 
so maybe its good that the previous tenant left the net here. 

that day, i went out to look from below, 
i didn't know that from the outside, my window was also so beautiful. 
that's how people see, if i were to sit by it, 
with my guitar, 
with my notebook, 
with my breakfast plate.
how long more can i enjoy moments like this?


but where did the rain go?
i'm waiting. 
can you smell it already? 
i took another deep breath. 
now i hear the rain, with that night bird calling again.
finally, it started to rain. 
i really love this feeling
