Thanks for being patient for this installment of Wake Me Up With Summer Rain.

Wake Me Up With Summer Rain
Story 6: Winter Requiem

I used to hate the snow. It was so white and plain, I just wanted it to be disturbed, even once. It wasn't that something bad occurred during a snowfall, it's just that I don't like it.

It's weird, since by birthday is in the winter. It always snowed buy my birthday.

My life is very quiet. Very plain as well. I always compared by family to the snow.

Pale.

Cold.

Hard to keep.

I feel isolated by it.

He was like a summer day though. And when I think of him, I feel the snow around me melt away and warm up. I don't like the cold. It's makes me fell more alone than I already am. The sun and warmth that he is, I wonder if I can be like that one day. Be something special.

Then he told me one day that he loved the snow. It brought out a mystical quality in the area. Even a bloody field can look pure when the snow fell on the corpses. It's chill wakes up the lethargy the sun always give. When snow came, he said, that magical things happen.

Then he gave me my birthday gift. It was a pendant that was shaped as a snowflake made out of diamonds and is set on a silver chain. He said I reminded him of the snow and how pure I was compared to its shimmer.

I don't hate it as much, now. It is still very cold and plain but I have a warm memory that is accompanied with it.

I always remember it, even though if the snowstorm between us still happening.

"You're like the snow, you know…pure, untainted, magical…even beautiful…don't forget that…ok?"

END NOTES: Well?
