Rain

It's raining today, isn't nice?
It reminds me of you, saying "rain is the sky's tears".
That memory is warm but the rain's cold as ice.
Your smile was so bright, so clear.
I saw that smile every time it rained.
You smiled at me the first time we met, funny thing is we met on a rainy day.
It was weird for me and I couldn't keep my curiosity contained.
Why would rain of all things make you smile that way?
So I asked and you answered, "rain is the sky's tears, and tears are evidence that someone cares".
I was confused but at the same time I understood what you said.
So I smiled back, I thought it was only fair.
We became best friends since then, and lived by our motto " a smile missed is a smile dead".
Every rainy day you would never forget to smile although, I sometimes would.
Your smile never failed to make my day, your smile was my sun.
Rainy days now fill me with happiness just like they should.
Even when I lost you your smile was not done.
Even the irony of losing you on a rainy day couldn't keep me from smiling.
With tears streaming down my eyes, I smiled.
Since I knew you'd want me to I kept my smile from drying.
I'll carry on your legacy although it may hurt for a while.
My smile will never be as bright as yours was but I will not put it to shame.
I will smile like you did every time that it rains.
