You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to
walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek
shade when it is shining. You say you love wind
but when it comes you close the window. So that’s
why I’m scared when you say you love me.
Some people feel the rain,
other just get wet
Love the life you live,
Live the life you love.
