this may seem weird, but that's okay
most people think I'm weird anyways
i like the rain
the way it f e e l s on my skin
how it can sometimes be warm
but it can be cold, too
i like it either way, really
.
there's this boy that likes the rain too.
he's always outside when it rains,
just like me
i talk to him sometimes
he likes grape jelly
and he likes Thestrals
i do too, they're very nice little creatures
the Thestrals, I mean
but grape jelly is okay, too
.
he's not very nice all of the time
but that's okay
he seems to have had a pretty hard life
so I wouldn't blame him
he says I'm 'l o o n y' and to go away
but that's okay, too
because everyone else says that also
.
he doesn't seem to care about my presence anymore
he kind of ignores me
like I don't even exist
every once in a while he'll answer my ?questions?
but they're usually short
.
i also like to d a n c e in the rain
i sometimes ask the boy if he wants to dance
he looks at me weird
and then says no
i don't really mind
i can enjoy it just by myself
.
it has been raining quite a lot, lately
so I see him often
he told me his name
d r a c o
as in dragon
i like dragons
i have a poster of one
on my wall
.
he talks to me more often
but only in the rain
he just tends to ignore me during school
i say hi to him sometimes
he just stares at me
b l a n k l y
like he's never seen me before
and I shouldn't be talking to him
.
but in the rain he's different
he's
A L I V E
he laughs a real laugh
he talks about things he
cares about
he can be
FREE
in the rain
just like me
.
if only he would open up
and show the world
who he really was
and not just to me
let everyone
see
that he's just a boy
and he's just as
Strange
as the rest of us
.
i like the rain
the way it f e e l s on my skin
how it can sometimes be warm
but it can be cold, too
i like it either way, really
and i like the boy in the rain
the true one
the one who likes
grape jelly
and Thestrals
the one who can o p e n up
up to me
and maybe, one day, to the whole world
if he ever lets himself
