Erratic 3 - Sorry For the Rain

I didn't know it rained today.
I was sheltered in a house
So I did not see
So I did not know

Were you thinking of me?
Were you sad?
I should have known.

I am a sheltered soul.
I could say sorry but I don't and I won't.
Am I sad
Or just contemplating?

'Sorry I did not see it rain today.
Sorry I was surrounded by heat.
Sorry I was enjoying the warmth while it was raining and cold outside.'

All of which I cannot say
Because I am not sorry.
Yet why do I feel so deflated?

My happiness opposes the rain.
The contradiction is stunning
And it feels wrong.

So am I sorry?
And sorry for what?
Sorry for the rain?!
