Rainy Days

I used to despise the rain when I was young

It made me feel sad and depressed

Ruining the fun I had planned to do that day

But now that I am older

I say I love the rain

The feeling of being drenched under the falling drops of water

Soaking wet to the bone as I stood still

Clothes clung to my body like a leech

I lifted my gaze up to the pouring rain

And I graced the sky with a smile upon my lips

As memories of you flashed in my mind

My smile faded as the realization dawned on me

You’re no longer here, but I still am

No matter how much it hurt, even now

I had to let you go, because you didn’t want to stay

Or cared enough to be here

And that, my dear, is why I love rainy days

Because I can spend my time crying

Under the loathsome and forsaken rain

That kept falling every second

Drowning me with my thoughts

Of you and me.

Mostly you.
