the rain is dropping in the background,
pit-a-pat as my snot falls down.
my head felt light and dizzy...
and for sure i know my nose is reddish.

like the sometimes annoying person you are,
you told me, "but idiots don't catch colds."
with the playful laugh i remember you most,
i said, "shut up, it's not a serious cold."

that was all i can recall,
as everything went fuzzy, cold,
and then comfortingly warm...
where i felt your hand on my head--
and i am not quite sure...
if it was the medicine working out
or it's just you performing wonders
on my ridiculously weak heart.
