Set Fire To The Rain, Again

Set Fire To The Rain

Lying in bed, trying to read but all in vain

For my mind kept turning to you

And the song Set Fire To The Rain.

The lyrics and the rhythm rocked me anew

Like I was a lad of seventeen once again.

I kept wondering whether what I felt was real

Or it was part of my hyper imagination; 

Whether I should keep my feelings concealed

And kill the emerging elation, the budding sensation.

But somehow my sentiments congealed

Into the words I'm writing now

Although I'd rather sing and shout

About what I'm feeling inside.

The singer sang about about setting fire to the rain,

But I wish for rain to fall on my raging fire

For I don't really want to make a fool 

Of myself, not at my age, not of carnal desire.

That would be absolutely uncool

So I'm setting fire, not to the rain, 

But to this silly letter of mine

Although doing so is bringing me much, much pain
