Feelings on Rain
.:Rain:.
I stare out the window as the rain pours down,
My head is filled with memories.
Some happy,
Some sad,
Others I wish would just go away.

I remember the day I danced in the rain.
I remember the day He kissed me in the rain.
I remember the day I spent watching the rain.
These moments blur together in my mind.
But most importantly I remember when I cried in the rain.

I remember the shattering heartbreak.
I feel the loneliness.
I taste the bittersweet goodbye.
And then it's too much to bear,
I can't just watch the rain anymore.

I run out into the storm.
I throw my head back.
I let the rain fall on my face.
My clothes stick to my skin.
But I don't care.

I scream as loud as I can.
Tears escape from my eyes once more.
But then I'm laughing.
My laughter is uncontrollable.
All I feel is incredible idiocy.

I laugh because I let those things crush me.
I see how pathetic it was.
Mostly I laugh because I feel free.
I can run and dance and scream and cry in the rain.
But no one will judge me.

I can be free to do as I please.
But only under the cover of rain.
I laugh until my side hurts.
Then I lay down on the pavement and feel the rain.
And I feel nothing but joy.
