Without Rain

Before him, it always felt like it was raining.

And I don't just mean the weather, but inside of my mind. My mind which had been forever jumbled with thoughts, threats, and such things. The storm inside of me was the strongest storm yet, and I was alone; all by myself, trying to face it. I was by myself, trying to survive - trying to come out alive.

But when I took that first step into that corner cafe in the middle of that city with that dull black umbrella in my hand and those shiny red rain boots on my feet, and I saw him, the rain began to clear and it was calm. And when my tired hazel eyes met with his blooming blue ones, the clouds parted. And when he smiled the most gentle smile and my cheeks began to heat, the sun finally decided to come out.
