the smell of rain

'hey dan, let's go.'

i picked up my shoes and put them on, then i stood up and walked to the door where my love was waiting for me

i slipped my hand into his
his hand felt warm, soft, smooth and like it was made to hold mine
it was almost as if it was molded to fit my hand
it was like we belonged together

i looked up into the deep, sapphire blue, radiant pools that were his eyes and they looked at me
the angel in front of me smiled at me and led me out of the door

we walked outside and i turned around, smiling at the big, brick house that was ours; it held some of my favourite things, including our daughter, a small shiba inu and my brand new piano

when we climbed in the car, he rested his hand on my leg
it comforted me
like always

we arrived and exited the vehicle

he quickly walked around the automobile to grab my bag in his one hand and my palm in his other

it was dark, but his eyes illuminated my entire world

we walked into the deep, dark forest but everything was fine because i had my own personal sun with me

when we reached the meadow, we made our way into the middle of the field and put down the soft blankets

we stood there for a while, staring up at the sky, saying nothing, holding hands and wrapping arms around each other

after a while, we decided to lay down

he rested his head on my chest and i played with his soft, dark locks that made him look like the most handsome man in this world

after a while i started to feel soft specks of liquid fall on my face, neck and arms

i looked down at the angel's face and he looked back at me

we both knew

it was raining harder

and we didn't move

we stayed there

in moments, we were drenched
did we care?
no

we kept our backs planted on the ground and our heads stuck to the floor

the rain kept flowing around us, harder and harder,
like an ocean, waves are crashing in, rolling out, crashing in, rolling out,
almost calming

we kept each other warm and we didn't care
nothing could ruin this
and we didn't care
no one could see us
and we didn't care

we stayed there until the sun rose and the downpour stopped

the wonderful smell of rain filled the air around us and filled our lungs every time we inhaled the oxygen

the smell reminded me of when i was young; i was in the backgarden, a storm had just passed and the sun was out again, my mum walked toward me, picked me up and spun me around until i was dizzy
it also reminded me of a video i filmed years ago, when i still used to do youtube, i can't do it anymore now that i am married, have a dog and a daughter and possibly a son too sometime soon
we needed a car to almost hit me for the video and it had just rained, we were outside and phil and i hadn't known each other for that long, we kept flirting and i felt happy
the other thing it reminded me of was our wedding day; right before the ceremony started, it started to chuck it down outside and we had to wait an hour to actually walk down the aisle, when we actually met each other in front of the cherry blossoms, the entire garden smelled of rain, i was so nervous that i had to take really deep breaths and i kept inhaling big sniffs of that pure, clean smell of rain
the entirety of japan smelled of rain that day
our dog ran towards us with a basket of yellow and white rose petals in his mouth; to represent the sun and the moon
it was perfect

we got up and exited the ancient forest, that was almost like an infinite black abyss to anyone who hadn't seen the beauty it held
we got back in our car and drove back to our home

'hey angel?'

'yes?'

'i love the smell of rain'

'i do too'

'it reminds me of..'

'it reminds me of that too' i smiled and twisted the golden ring which is wrapped around my finger

'i love you'

'i love you too'

the angel came close and took my face into his hands, touching it like it was the most delicate thing that could break at the slightest touch

our lips connected
