Kate

I remember the day of Alexis' graduation, the day you came to me and told me how you felt. At first the rain felt fitting, a pathetic fallacy. After everything that had happened between us and the way we had left things I didn't expect to ever see you again. I was angry, I was upset and I was scared. Scared that this time I had lost you for good.

I couldn't stay, the temptation of having you so close and not being able to see you, to love you was too much. You don't know this and I never told Mother or Alexis but that night I was planing on leaving New York. I'd just finished packing my office when you called, I was sure I was going to do it. But then you came.

Soaked from the rain and so real, you were kissing me and apologizing and everything and nothing mattered anymore. The rain from your clothes started to soak through my shirt and I didn't care.

You have no idea how long I have imagined you like that, in front of me with love in your eyes; It was like a dream come true for me. Every touch and whisper, the feel of you pressed against me, your taste, it's burned into my memory Kate, I can't ever forget and wouldn't want to. That kiss was all passion and anger and desperation, to prove that this wasn't just some spur of the moment thing and that you really were here. I tried to tell you everything with that kiss, and the next majority of the ones that followed.

We didn't jump into anything together and I'm glad, I'm not sure I could have handled everything at once, not after pining after you for so long. I'm not even ashamed to admit that part either, I love you Kate. We just lay there on top of the bed, holding each other whispering everything, fears apologies and all that comes in between and all the while the rain is beating down making it all seem mystical, like our secret moment, hidden by darkness and a curtain of rain.

Just being with you, able to kiss you when I want - well, within reason, you still don't let e at the precinct - it's like I never really knew what was missing. Now that I've found you Kate, now that you've let me in I don't think I could ever leave you.

I love you. I have for sometime now. I just thought you should know.

'R' is for the rain, the keeper of our secret. Every time I feel it on my skin I feel you kiss on my lips.

Hopefully I'll soon be able to have the real thing again.

Rick.
