I open my window & I can start to feel the rain pouring down.

So I went outside for a walk & ended up crying.

"You were never like the others."

I wish I had it in me to walk up to you at graduation

& say I have liked you too

for what seems like my entire life.

I guess it's true that you're finally going.

But I don't want you to leave.

I don't exactly understand why it is I feel this way.

Sometimes there really aren't enough tears to get over the pain.

These tears are words that my heart can't say.

I guess it's been bothering me because

I've been wondering...

what if you're the one I've been waiting for my whole life,

and I let you go?

I just wanted us to be close,

for things to get better.

But deep down,you already know how I feel

& if that isn't enough for you to stay,

then I want you to know that I'll be okay.

& that I wish you nothing but the best.

And I look at the rain again,

beautiful, refreshing & clean.

Rain makes everything beautiful, it's like a fresh start.

I lifted my chin and I let the rain wash the tears away.

It cleans everything, washing away

everything that hurts.

It leaves a beautiful post-rain smell, & a new day.

Don't stop believing in tomorrow.

After everything, I still believe this world is a beautiful place.
