Rain

The rain always made me happy, I love the smell of the damp earth and the sounds of raindrops hitting the roof. It brings a sense of calm to my life. I loved waking up to the sight of my window and it's a little gloomy outside. As I got myself ready for the day, it makes me excited that I'll be on my way to the train station, listen to my favorite songs and the weather would be cool but not too cold.

When you came into my life, you were like rain. Not everybody appreciated you but I definitely did. You were calming and you brought peace into my life. Every moment with you was remarkable and I loved spending time with you in our own little world. My favorite days with you are the times we get to stay in on the weekends, while it rained outside and I could just curl into your arms.

Even 3 years later, the love you had for me still radiated everyday. They told me the honeymoon phase would be over within a couple months, but it never seemed to stop for us. I knew you were forever. And whenever it rains and I'm with you, it feels like I could die right there and then.

With rain however comes thunder and I feared rainy days with too much thunder and lightning. Near the end of my time with you, there was a lot of thunder and lightning. It made me feel unsafe and scared. You are so amazing in every way, but I guess my fear of thunder drove you away. Sometimes loving the rain meant dealing with the thunder and the lightning. And maybe I was still learning to deal with that. And you deserved someone who could deal with the good and the bad.

And maybe in the next life, you could be my sunshine instead. And maybe then, we could deal with each others thunder and lightning without having to part. Because you are still and always will be, the love of my life.
