People see it as a symbol of distress
A sign of weakness
A representation of sadness
An equivalent to loneliness

But considering reality
It's full of irreplaceable memories
Wether happy or the opposite
It is full of life and spirit

These are songs from the sky
Hymns from up above
Rhythm from way up high
A manifestation of true love

Rain.
Pouring rain.

Unafraid of falling
Not frightened of crying
Willing to keep pouring
Real emotions are showing

When the world is overwhelmed  and can't take anymore
With the hatred and pain that humans store
It cries in our behalf
It tears up just enough

In order to wash at least part of our load
To make sure our hearts don't corrode
It releases our grief
And showers us with belief

Since the rain cries for our sorrow
Shouldn't we at least wear a smile, a beaming glow?
It weeps for us, to release our pain
The least we can do, is to smile in behalf of rain

You can climb to the mountain peak
But it won't set you free
You'll find it's lonely at the top
And the air is hard to breathe

You can search the ocean deep
For pearls pure and true
But in your search, I think you'll find
The water's cold and cruel

You can travel lands of brightest suns
In search of warmth to find
Abandon shelter that you've known
Just leave it all behind

But the sun will surely betray you
The mirage of bliss, scorched and burned
Perfection a dream that can't be reached
Another hard lesson learned

When your quest is finally over
You'll realize the love i had was true
But I won't be here with open arms
'cause you've no more roads to choose

I love you
not because
you're good looking

I love you
not because
you're caring

I love you
not because
you dote on me

I love you
not because
your smiles are sweet

I love you
not in lust
of your crevice
or orifice
or skin

I love you
because
without you
I feel

incomplete within.

The best and worst thing about pretending
Is that the lie gets so good that everyone believes it
And that you believe it too
A fake smile that seems so real that you don't remember what a real smile is
