He was someone I always waited for.. 

Although I was never patient, the hope of seeing him would keep me by my windowsill.. waiting and waiting.. Waiting till the harsh sunlight on my skin was clouded by his presence.

His wind.. the trace of his presence left an exhilarated wave of shiver on my skin. He was the aroma of earth when the first drizzle hit the ground. He was so irresistable.. it was impossible to not drench yourself away in his blissful rain.

It was like dancing gracefully with your own fantasies.. falling in love while waltzing across the room.. where all eyes are on you.. but yours are just on him.

But when the grey sky in his eyes darkened, the rainbow of happiness that his drizzle had left, disappeared. 

His rain wasn't supposed to hurt, was it?

I stayed under my roof for a while, clinging to my blanket for warmth, waiting again.. 

Waiting for his icy winds and harsh raindrops to calm down.

Though his thunder worsened..

I stayed.. I stayed for him.. for the way his raindrops gently caressed my skin.. for the way he thrilled me.. for the way he made me feel loved. With him.. I was high on the feeling of being on the highest of paradises.

But then.. was his blissful drizzle a trap? Was it to lure me to him? To his rain.. until it grew and grew.. and transformed into a flood?

Maybe I shouldn't be playing with the storm, my mind said. Maybe I should stay away, be careful that his wrathful lightning does me no harm.

And heavens, was I right?

He thundered the roar of a thousand lions.. making the child inside me run and hide in her room. And while everyone else admired his glorious form.. his hurtful words, his furious hailstorms bruised me from deep within.

I closed my eyes, shut my ears. It will be over soon, I told my poor heart, which was racing out of terror. And while I hid, the storm in him brewed and brewed, and it grew so violent that it wrecked my everything.

Falling in love with him was something I had always dreamed of.. Lord, the feeling of pure euphoria.

But after all.. he was rain.. 

And rain never came with just a drizzle.
