A Rainy Pastime


[Clock rings] ding ding ding ding ding

Humph! I need a break, and I better have some strong coffee.

It's been raining since this morning. I don't think that I saw a glimpse of the sun the whole day! 

I don't remember leaving my room in the last 6 hours either..

The outside looks beautiful. It's been a while since I've enjoyed rain through my window. I love the sounds around. It's like the earth is speaking to heaven.

The raindrops are constantly knocking on the window-glass. 

I used to take my arms out of the window and sink in some unknown happiness. My eyes used to be more keen and eager. My smile used to be uncorrupted.

The rain continues to hit my window, calling me out like an old friend.

I stand stiff and watch it from a distance.

I have spent so many afternoons like this, running and jumping in the water on the streets with an umbrella folded and kept inside my bag. That was so me. 

I have changed.

I never realized when I started to carry a different person in the name of personality.

Oh! The coffee is prepared sooner than I expected.

I walk towards my desk, and a part of mine silently walks outside, leaving me.. maybe forever. It's not the first time. Actually it's hard to remember exactly how many times I have traded myself for responsibilities. 

I wish, I could go outside instead and embrace the rain. At least I wouldn't have to cry without tears.
