When

When I cry, my tears are filled with pain or sorrow lingering from recent events.

When you cry, your tears are filled with the anguish you have burdened for centuries.

When I look at the stars, I see serenity within them.

When you look at the stars, you see the world's lost innocence within them.

When I feel snow upon my skin, I see joyful memories floating before me.

When you feel snow upon your skin, you are reminded of all you have lost.

When I awake to the sun's rays, I am reminded of days when I am young.

When you awake to the sun's rays, you are remindedof blood shed.

When the wind blows past me, I smell the fresh air.

When the wind blows past you, you smell the salt of tears long since shed.

When I feel rain upon my skin, I feel refreshed by its coolness.

When you feel rain upon your skin, you feel the sorrow of the sky.

When I look at your face, I see thepain and destruction you have witnessed and suffered.

When you look at my face, you see innocence and a life that will flicker away in the blink of an eye to you.

When I look into your eyes, I see the pain that grown in your heart.

When you look into my eyes, you see a girl that has just begun to understand herself.

When I hold your hand, I wish to take you away from all your pain and torture.

When you hold my hand, you wish to protect me from the terror and death I will witness.

When I told you I loved you, I meant every word of it.

When I told you I loved you, I knew you returned the feeling, but I saw the terror in you eyes; the pain from losing the person you loved before.

When you kissed me, I felt a promise on your lips and the pain you chose to release.

When you kissed me, you made a promise and vowed to protect me no matter what.

I know you will return, Rain. You were never one to break a promise.
