Watchin' the Rain

It's raining again.

Cold rain.

I wish there was a photograph that showed me here with you
And I could kiss the photograph and make my wish come true

The wedding will be in two weeks. I remember clearly that fateful day, two and a half months ago when Yuki proposed to her. It was late, and I was out for a walk. I saw Yuki and Tohru walking home from a movie. Curious, I watched them. Soon they stopped and the damn rat looked Tohru in the eye and dropped to one knee. Horror struck me instantly. He pulled a box for his pocket. I ran.

It rained harder than it ever had that night. From the roof, in the pouring rain, I could hear Shigure's cries of congratulations on their engagement. Tohru, concerned as always, poked her head onto the roof to tell me the "happy" news. The rain hid my tears.

I wish I was a humming dove so I could sing so sweet
I wish that I could steal the moon and kiss it with my feet
I wish I was a remedy that you wanted to take

The day before the wedding. Haru is the best man and both Uo and Hana are the maids of honor. Tohru wanted Yuki to have me as a groomsman, but I refused. I still don't know if I'm going to the wedding at all. I don't think I'd be able to stand it.

I asked Haru to take a picture of Tohru and I yesterday. She's so radiant, so happy. It makes me glad that she's happy, but it makes me sad when I realize that I'm not the one who is making her happy.

I wish I could forget the day the hurting in my heart
And wash our mouths with listerine to make a brand new start

Today's the day. I decided to go, for Tohru. She looks so beautiful in the wedding dress Ayame made. Everyone's here. Akito's death last year set us all free, so they could marry. Sometimes I wish that he was still alive. But then she couldn't be happy.

Slowly, carefully they said their vows. They exchanged rings, and suddenly it was over. Their lips met. I cried.

Watching the rain fall down
Watching the rain
Watching the rain
Watching the rain fall down
Watching the rain
Watching the rain fall down

There are two endings. The first is the sad ending, the second the happier one. I've put them into separate chapters to make it easier on you guys.
