he was the rain, soft crystalline, but drooping and mournful
and i liked rainy days - its easy to hide in the rising mists and in draping hoodies
and the rain matched my tears and no one could see me crying

but then i saw the rainbow, bright, shimmering, beautiful - its iridescent streaks leaking into my pores and inspiring hope again - but its beams of light were temporary - only flickering momentarily before it was gone - i was so busy looking at it, i didn't see the sun!

it was always there, hiding behind the clouds
but now it was out, its gleams coming over to kiss my skin and fill me with light - brightening up the flowers and lush green trees around me - its warmth and streaks hold me and i bask in its glory
