WHERE BUTTERFLIES MOURN [Editing]

I hated the rain. I hate its sound, it's humid, it's feeling. I feel like the things we can do are limited when it is raining.

I hate the people who say they love the rain but open an umbrella when it pours.

I hate how the rain makes me feel... lonely.

I am Aruna Loraine Costa, I grew up independently but there is one thing that frightens me. Loneliness.

My parents left the world when I was very young. I lived with my Uncle with his family. I didn't feel that I was loved. I am merely a shadow walking behind them.

I thought that I had the life I deserved. I did not ask for more. I embraced what I had. Not until he entered my life. I never thought that my life was dark, lonely, and cold. That my nights were miserable and deafening. That my thoughts were dangerous and terrifying. He made me realize that I yearned for something. That I yearned for his love to pour on me.

He was the storm I wasn't ready for. But instead of opening an umbrella, I opened my heart for him to shower with his love.
