You awake early each morning golden and fresh to find that I have
raisen and waited to take breakfast with you. Your favorite cup on the
table, the coffee brewed and waiting warmly.2
Through silences and conversations we share our joys and troubles.
Neither of us question what lies uneasily upon the ledges in the windows
of our eyes... within sight but untouchable. So I bury myself in my
work.3
Until one day you bring to the cottage a "friend." In the evening as if
on cue I go for a walk though there may be rain. You look at me
sheepishly, hoping that I will just go to my room and meditate...??? Or
whatever it is that you think that I do when I am alone.4
I tell you that the rain is refreshing...
Do you know why?5
No?!? In the rain I can cry... tears unseen are blended into billions
upon billions of rain drops all running lightly upon my cheeks. In the
rain I can let my pain show and you will never know. 6
In my solitude I tell myself that even the sky is sad. That she shares
her tears with me. Together we relieve pressures held within to long.7
Today though I shall not walk. There are windows I wish to open...
thoughts and feelings which need aired. The rain she beckons me onward...
but tonight I will send another into her embrace.8
Author notes

Definitely my favourite part of this story. You really captured the theme of my contest, and I can see you were inspired by the quote. I'm gladf you entered, and glad to have read this.
Your story was good, with excellent imagery and description. You put power and emotion behind your words which makes you dignified as not only an author, but a good author.
Having that said,
Best of luck.
