I Should Have Been Clearer in my Demands

I told a friend tonight that I was wishing it would rain and that I would go outside and play in it. What I neglected to mention is that I would only play if it wasn't lightning out. Instead I stood under the balcony and just smelled the earth and air mixed together. It isn't the same as Good Ol' South Dakota but it was nice. I love the smell before the rain and as it is raining, if only everything in life were so simple.
