The storm raged

I saw your place

The rain soaked me

Your light beckoned me

Clothes clinging

Doorbell ringing

You showed in the window

The door stayed closed

I almost froze

You didn’t care

That I was there

I’d make a mess

In your nice house

So I was left outside.

Too much risk to let love start

I want to enter your heart

But there’s a possibility of pain

So I stay out, in the rain.

I’ll feel the pain and try to be tough

That I was somehow not enough

For you to open the door

And risk hurting for.
