First Drop of Rain

Wat it feels like when after the hot summers, a tiny first drop of rain falls on ur face, ur palm catches the monsoon drop. The cool fresh drop from the sky, brings the new season, wet, muddy and greenery every where. I love to get wet in the rain, mummy yells at me but i can stop my self hugging the rain, tightly. 
If u've not felt wat it feels like, next time just try it.
