:
Looking Out the Window

When I looked out the window
I thought I heard someone calling me,
But it was only the tree branches
Scraping each other.

I kept looking out the window,
And I thought I saw someone coming,
But it was just the black shadow of a tree.

While I kept looking out the window
It started to rain,
So I closed the window
And walked away.
