How long has it been? “Right, it has been a year and three months,” I said to myself as I stared at the raindrops rapidly falling down my window. The sky was dark, so dark it was like night. I was all alone and I couldn't help but remember that time.

I could still remember it clearly, like it was just yesterday. I was waiting for her to come home and I stood by the window, thinking when she would be back, just like now. The only difference was the weather. That day, the sun was shining brightly, the birds chirping loudly; completely the opposite of today where everything was dark and the rain pouring hard.

A bitter smile was the only thing I could manage. At least, back then I was sure she was gonna come back to me. Now, I don’t even know. She didn’t give me an answer, not even a single hint. I waited and waited but none came. Until I realize that it was more than a year already that I kept on waiting for that answer. Was it so hard to do or was it just that I was mistaken when I thought she felt the same?

Distance makes the heart grow fonder they said. But was it only my heart that had longed for her? It seemed to be the case. It was only me, I guess, the one who really got attached in that relationship. Just like the rain outside, tears of my heart poured. Was she standing by the window and watching the rain too like I do? Does she think of me too? Does she even remember me? When it rains, I couldn’t help but reminisce.

With the rain pouring and with its sound, memories started flooding down. I thought of her once again and a single tear fell. And like the rain that leaves whenever, she left me alone in the dark, completely drenched into my heart’s waterworks.

After all the times I tried erasing her from my life, I still couldn’t, I just couldn’t. I was not a fool; I knew she was not there anymore. Accepting that she was not by my side any longer was just too hard.

I could only hope that she was happy, that she was smiling and that she would never have to resemble the rain and experience a love that would hurt her.

It was high time for us to go our separate ways, I know that. But I feel so cold and numb. Help me, God, fight this loneliness, take this pain away.

Until when would I wait? Am I waiting for nothing? When would the right time for us come? But the sole question is, will there be one? However, I would still be hoping that she would come back home. I don’t care how long but I’m willing to wait because I really have fallen deeply for her.

Sorry for the slow update. Here's chapter 3 and it was inspired by the song Love in the Rain, of course by C.N. Blue. Enjoy
