4/1/04

It rained today.

I had to restrain myself.

Not long after my birthday one year, you took me on a belated birthday outing.

It was the wee hours of the morning.

The streets were so empty, it was as if we were the only two left on Earth.

The only other presence amongst us was the burgeoning rain.

I took off my jacket, shielding you from the rain as we walked into covered territory.

You laid your head against my shoulder as we listened to the methodical litany of nature, our eyes watching every individual drop.

It began to pour.

You took me by the hand and led me into the street, into the core of the chaotic torrent.

Despite the wetness causing the cotton to suffocate your rondure body, my focus was fixated on your face.

The sporadic nature of your hair in the rain was infatuating.

I was smitten by your gaze, and your face reached mine.

You gave me one of the greatest gifts in a while.

You gave me back my innocence.

When you're warm in the cold rain, you know you have something special going on.

Docking out...
