My Voice and the Rain

          I guess it's the loneliness
It’s being scared to go outside and socialize because people tell you that you’re crap at conversation.

                                “I’m not”

You think and you shuffle your feet and your eyes away. You were listening instead of contributing. You were being too quiet.

You tend to get lost in getting called “too” anything.
Why is it a bad thing to be quiet? You’re taking the time to listen, observe. To know just the right thing to say to this person when they really need to listen too.

                                “I just don’t trust you yet”

It’s part loving the rain and how it falls past the window and into the trees. The sound it makes. The silence it brings.

                I always want to go out when it rains. Feel the cold against my own warmth. Breathe in the damp leaves and fresh sky. Revel in the beauty a storm always brings.

Share a smile with someone.

But they don’t smile to strangers in the rain here.

It’s England.
