The rain

  Tap. Tap. Tap. That delightful sound filled my ears after so long, the raindrops were finally falling from the sky. The clouds were crying, finally! They were crying again.

  I closed my eyes gently, almost carefully, and listened. I listened for who knows how long, my heart slowly starting to weep.

  My soul felt as dry as the grass outside, longing for your touch, yearning for your smile. Tap. Tap. Tap. Isn't that lovely? The sky seems to cry for me, do you feel sad?

  Tap. Tap. Tap. The rain soon washed away my loneliness, gently, quietly, even tenderly, the clouds floated away leaving a dark night sky that felt fresh, new, filled with relief.
