my solitary little dance

pink little top
white little heels
couldn't stop me
from dancing in the rain

i jumped into a puddle
ran, hopped, laughed, twirled myself round,
got splashed by a passing car
but it couldn't stop me
from dancing in the rain

i knew i will sneeze
and even catch a cold
fall sick
and miserable
but the rain
the rain it beckoned me
come dance with me

and so i did
like i would when i was a kid
mascaraed? lined? waxed?
who cares about the stares

it was between me and the rain

with my arms wide open
head right up
feeling it

nothing stopped me
from dancing in the rain
