Thinking of You Is Full of Comfort (#99 - 105)

"...This rain was very small, tiny, close to none..."

Thinking of You Is Full of Comfort #99-105

It rained all day yesterday

Different from the storm in the Pearl River Delta (southern China)
This rain was very small, tiny, close to none
It lasted all day long

Every time we went downstairs we thought the rain had stopped
Or it was not raining at all
And forgot to bring an umbrella

But if you really didn't carry an umbrella
You would feel the slight but serried raindrops, and its existence
Beyond our imagination

We start again kissing long
Hug and caress each other

I like this room very much
This bed, lying on it we could see
A big expanse of sky

Not a blue sky -- clear as washed
It is kind of industrial, seems cold, greyish-white
Quiet and routine, but makes people long for it
