Momentary Bliss Momentary Bliss The sky was grey and it looked like it will rain. But I did not mind it. I continued to walk on the grassy field holding a flower pot.

One more Bliss The sky was grey again, and it looked like it will rain. I did not bring an umbrella so that I could feel the rain pouring down my skin. Besides, I want to cry once more.
