Rain

i greet the rain openly. it hides my tears. it washes away my despair on the outside.  no one knows. the inside is crumbling for my hidden love. she's the ray of hope shining through my life.  she's my reason for living. she's my reason for being.  my only love. i fear not my love being found. i fear it not being returned. one day, she'll know.  one day, she'll care. until then, i wait for the clouds to part and the light of Autumn to shine through. then i'll need not the rain for i'll have her and need nothing more.

My best friend in the whole world Ryan wrote this for me a very, very long time ago and it just reminds me that somewhere out in the big scary world, when i'm all alone that someone loves me and is always there if i need them... he had no idea that he had his work cut out for himself.
