Crying in the Rain

Rain (n.) Water that falls from the sky in drops after being condensed from atmospheric vapor.

Tears (n.) A profusion of clear salty liquids spilling from the eyes and wetting the cheeks, especially as an expression of emotion.

They're two completely different things.

I hated it when it rained. It made me homesick for the hot and arid weather of Ancient Egypt.

I use to spend hours just sitting at the window, watching as raindrops slipped down the windowpane. I cursed at it and even tried threats to make it stop, but it never did. It had a mind of its own. And it seemed to mock me, shoving in my face the fact I couldn't control it.

But things soon changed. It's so ironic; the one thing that I use to hate so much would now bring me so much comfort.

You didn't like the rain much either. You hated going out in it and avoided doing so whenever you could. That was why we spent so many rainy days cuddling on the couch, sipping at warm tea. We talked and pondered life, making promises, exchanging whispers of sweet nothings and falling asleep together, using each other for warmth.

Ra, how I miss those times. But now you're cuddling with someone else, somewhere else. Making promises, those same promises that you made to me. Those same promises that you never kept.

I'm standing here in the rain. I'm standing at the place where we confessed our love. The same place that you broke my heart into a million pieces.

In the rain is the only place I'm willing to show my pain. To cry these tears I've bottled up for so long.

In the rain I can cry and smile at the same time and no one would notice the tears. I can keep my pride and release my pain.

I can watch you with him. I can watch you laughing with him, kissing him and being happy. All this I can do without crying. Maybe one day I can do it with a smile on my face. But right now, I'm just content with the fact that I can watch without breaking into tears.

I'll never cry in front of you. I'll never let you know and you'll never realize the pain you've cause me. You'll never realize I'm still in love with you.

You will never see the tears I've shed. I've done my crying in the rain, letting my tears mingle with the droplets of water that fall from the heavens.

Rain is said to be the tears of angels. So I guess I'm crying with the angels. And they're crying for our lost love.

Rain (n.) Water that falls from the sky in drops after being condensed from atmospheric vapor.

Tears (n.) A profusion of clear salty liquids spilling from the eyes and wetting the cheeks, especially as an expression of emotion.

Maybe they aren't so different after all.

End.
