Rain poured over my flesh. Cooling the flames that burned under the surface. It hurts.... Just sitting here, watching them walk away. The world became dark as soon as the news came. My best friend will leave and next my best guy friend and after that three more friends and after that some family and after that a few puppy loves. I swear this rain is all my tears coming to tease me again. Falling once wasn't enough. They wanted to hurt me more. Cover up my new tears and add on to everything that makes my heart heavy.
But I can see the sun. A few feet away... I thought it'd be easy to take those last few steps. It should be easy. The rain is cold and growing ever more heavy as I stay in it. The sun seems inviting and within it I can see people who I've watched for so long. At times they surround me, their light surrounding my rain. I feel like they accept me, but I can't accept myself with them.
I can't help but let myself fall to the ground. The rain and my tears becoming one as always. None of them really saw my rain, I doubt they care anyways. I want to be apart of them but....
"Why are you sitting by yourself?" That voice? How has it broken through my shield of rain. "Come on. Everyone is over here." A hand reaches to me. Someone strong enough has stepped into my rain. He isn't afraid to take those steps.
My body falls into his and lets him lead me. It's hard, but step by step I'm making my way to the sun. I'll get there someday. Ever day I can feel it getting closer. He's made me stronger.
"Thank you."
