The sun was hidden behind the clouds, it had started raining heavily an hour ago; it was now lesser but not quite a drizzle yet. Everyone was enjoying the welcoming weather from inside their homes; well almost everyone. There was one person who was enjoying the rains outside of her home. She was a young girl of 22 who was standing in her backyard with her arms spread wide as the raindrops poured on her, leaving her drenched from head to toe. Her eyes were closed and she was smiling as she started to whirl around taking in the wonderful feeling of being wet in the rain.
Someone called out to her from the house but the rain was loud so she did not hear anything. She continued to spin and laugh as she danced on the grass, wearing a blue dress and no sandals on her feet. The girl suddenly bumped into something soft as she was dancing around and opening her eyes she found herself staring at a boy who looked at her with a smile on his face as he held her. He was taller than the girl, which made him seem to be a few years older than she was. She had to stand on her toes just to reach his shoulders.
“Come inside…” he said to her, his voice barely a whisper. He too was drenched now, having forgotten an umbrella.
“Later, I’m dancing in the rain. Don’t you just love this weather?” she asked him, her smile lighting up her eyes.
“I do. But I don’t want you falling sick, now let’s go in the house. You’re soaking wet.” He told her, sounding concerned.
“You’re wet too.” She pointed out. “Please, let’s stay out here a little longer, I haven’t felt the rain on my skin in so long.” the girl made a sad face.
The boy moved his hands from her waist to her face and held her cheeks as they locked gazes again. “You’ll be ill. You’ve been here for over fifteen minutes now, the rain isn’t going anywhere. It will still rain tomorrow.” he tried to reason with her.
“So what? If I fall ill, I have you to take care of me.” The girl broke their gaze, she never could look into those eyes for too long without feeling queasy inside.
“How about one dance with me and then we go inside?” the boy asked her as he held out his hand.
She laughed and blushed at the same time. “Alright, one dance.” she agreed.
She gave her hand to him and he placed it on his shoulder while putting one hand of his around her waist. With their free hands clasped together, they began to dance slowly, not caring about getting wet in the rain anymore. Nothing else mattered at that moment, there was nothing more important than being with each other dancing in the rain. The girl was caught off guard when he dipped her and pulling her back up gave her a quick kiss.
“I love you.” he confessed to her as they stopped dancing. They just stood there staring at each other.
“I love you too…” the girl replied as she hugged him tightly. “I always will.” she whispered as her head lay on his shoulder.
They both walked towards the house holding hands, they didn’t care about anything else in the world; didn’t care what anyone thought about this relationship of theirs. All they cared about was that they were finally together.

Just you and I
The world was ours
Only for the night
We twirled beneath the starry sky
You held me close and tight
Not wanting to let go
Not wanting me to disappear
The music played for only two
We danced like never before
Cherishing our love
With the time we had
Our time to be together had ended;
You lived on Earth, I in Heaven
And yet, it seemed as if
We were always meant to be
With tears in our hearts
And love in our eyes
Our lips met
Warm against cold
We danced one last time
One spirit one being,
A mismatched impossible pair
Still, full of love
In the end
You looked at me
I gazed back
And our hands touched
Not even death
Could keep us apart
Each time i vanished
I returned to you again
Another night, another day
Time was running out for you
Soon we would be together,
Forever and always.
