Kiss: In the Rain

By: darkprincess900/ me

                The rain falls down, which way would it fall? Though practically weightless, water droplets can’t defy gravity.

                I sit there, in the pouring grey on a park play structure, open to be pelted by rain with clumped tendrils of drowned brown hair sticking to my skin and bunching up, sitting on the collar of my sopping black shirt.

                The cold droplets sting the exposed skin of my arms and legs, leaving me devoid of colour, the water washing away life, hope, happiness, love. There’s no point for the rain to bring joy and comfort like it used to, so let it wash me away.

                You can’t see me cry anymore, wipe away the tears. You can’t see my smiles, my frowns, my scowls, the glares I would give you when you pinched and tickled me.

                You can’t hear me tell you stories I created while we sat in bed. You can’t hear me sing, however badly, while I was in the shower.

                You can’t do anything anymore, because you’ve left everyone, left me.

                It’s not your fault, nor mine, nor anyone’s, but I can’t help but blame, blame you, me, and everyone.

                You told me not to wish for you from the very beginning. You knew, but never told me. You told me, over and over, but how can I not? I loved you.

                These showers, pouring down on me, won’t wash, but, as I wish, the waters carry them far from me, taking them somewhere, hopefully to you.

                I lift my head, turning my face up to the grey, crying sky, and I can’t help but smile, remembering that one time.

                A tear slips downs my cheek.

                It had been raining then, just like now, and I had been walking, my shoes squishing and squashing as I treaded through the puddles, the rain pattering, lapping the ground with comforting gurgles.

                I let the rain hit me, soaking through my sweater and jeans, making the inside of my shoes miniature lakes, tears hiding, blending in with the water droplets on my skin.

                She can have him, I won’t fight, he made his choice, but that doesn’t mean that it didn’t hurt.

                I was crying, though no one could tell, and I was headed for somewhere I could be alone, where the pain could ooze from my body, but then you showed up, all bright and a smile on your face.

                You were always happy; nothing ever seemed to get you down, no matter what happened.

                You called my name; you made it audible over the symphony that was being played by the bawling clouds.

                You smiled and twirled on the ball of your foot, saying simply: ‘It’s raining, it’s pouring, I feel like snoring. I smashed my head when I got out of bed, and I didn’t feel like getting up in the morning.’ 

                It was out of tune, but it made me smile. You were unlike any boy I ever met, I never could believe that you were real, that you were actually there, standing in front of me.

                ‘What do you think?’ You grinned, winking at me and pushing straggling hair from your ice blue eyes, ‘Another song?’ You flashed your teeth and paced closer to me. ‘Rain, rain, please go away, leave us alone for another day!’

                I shook my head, smiling.

                Don’t make the rain leave, I like the rain.

                ‘Fine. I won’t. For you.’ I blushed, my freezing cheeks warming. ‘Just this once.’ A laugh. How do you manage this? To make me smile, laugh, when I’ve been rejected, when I want to disappear, crawl in a hole?

                Share your secret?

                I never ask it though, I like guessing games, mystery and suspense.

                ‘You look sad today. Or, actually, you have an aura of sad.’ You didn’t believe in auras, you just couldn’t think of another way to say it.

                Bad day, that’s all, but you’re cheerful.

                “Always, and I know how to do the same for you~.”

                The words hadn’t even registered when you had my chin in your hand, your other arm wrapped around me and pulling me close to you. Your warm lips pressed to mine, sending a surge through my body, surprise, happiness.

                I couldn’t believe that I could ever feel that way I did at that moment, standing in the rain.

                It was a wow moment.

                But now it’s gone, you’re gone, and I can’t feel it anymore. I can still feel the patter of the rain on my skin. It’s the only way I can remember that day as if it was just happening for the first time.

                Sometimes I can feel you, sense your presence, though logic says it’s impossible.

                Screw logic.

                I’ll take what I can get.

                I tilt my head right back, rain bursting on my lips like kisses and my eyes close, calling to you as I wish, wish for you.

                Wait for me.

                ‘I will.’ That happy voice, calls, sings in my eyes and head. Is it real? ‘A kiss in the rain, one last one until we are together again. Never forget.’

                Spirit or imagined, I fell one last kiss in the rain, water hitting my skin and singing to me.

                Never.

                How could I forget you?

                ‘Covet my rain kiss.’
