The Way That Rain Loves

"I think the stories have it wrong," She whispered as she traced a drop of water down the window. A faint smile playing on her lips, she closed her eyes and dreamt for a blissful moment before explaining. 
"Rain isn't the weather of tragedies; it's the most romantic weather of all. The skies are not crying because they are sad. The water is simply falling to the ground in the same way that you or I fall in love. Sometimes it falls quickly, painfully so. And yet even after a hard landing, the water jumps back off of the ground, dancing joyously."

Her eyes glittered when she turned around. "That, I think, is why the rain is so inviting to us dreamers. We want to dance with the water, holding the one we love close with a smile on our lips and a twinkle in our eyes. We want them to kiss our face as persistently as the rain kisses the ground, to cover our eyes and make us laugh while the clouds cover the sky, and to whisper in our ears the beautiful secrets that the rain sings aloud as it plays in the leaves. The rain pushes two cold people together, so they will warm each other up and find comfort each other's presence. I love the rain, because it understands how to love passionately, if at times unexpectedly."

May we all find the beauty and romance in rain!
