I hope it's you

The rain pours down
runs off my face
and soaks my clothes,

It continues to the ground
fills the puddles
and soaks my toes,

Vehicles speed by
giving advice
and wishing me luck,

Don't they see I'm hopeless,
going nowhere,
and stuck?

I continue a drifter
side of the road
thumb extended,

Another car passes
I think it's you
or at least pretended,

I continue walking
I can turn my back
I'm a person too,

but I see another
over the horizon
I hope it's you.
