While I was out

I thought and hoped you would come while I was out. Don't know what the few who saw me thought but i didn't care. I just stopped, out in the open and let you fall on me. Feeling you run over me, washing my worries and fears away just for a couple of minutes. Listening to you fall on everything around me. The great smell you get. But it had to end so now just sat here listening to you fall, watching as you cover everything. Why do people shield themselves from you? In the past you have annoyed me, but that was then.
