Memories of the rain

It was pouring on that cold day of spring. It started as such a nice day so I didn’t expect it to turn out that way and I didn’t have an umbrella with me. Luckily, there was a pub nearby so I rushed in to warm myself up for a little bit. The dim lights and the hushed music was inviting me to take a sit at a table in the further corner of the old, dusty pub and order a cup of hot cocoa. I looked around and everything seemed familiar. The soft tapping of the falling rain tried to remind me of something… or someone.

At that moment a young couple came in with a jacket above their heads as a shield from the spring shower. I was so drawn by the sound of the rain that I ignored them for a second. His deep cave – like voice and her shy laugh made me pay attention to them. He looked so protective over her and she was so happy that my heart skipped a beat. That’s when I realized that it was us… me and the very first guy I have loved. I closed my eyes and everything became clear. Suddenly, I was there in front of him..  I was that girl with a sweet laugh and a silly smile on her face. His long, black hair and big, dark eyes which would turn into crescent moons when he smiled, that attractive face was still fresh in my heart.

That day we were walking hand-in-hand to the cinema when the rain started and we were forced to enter the pub. His thin clothes were soaked wet because he gave me his jacket despite my protests. That’s why I fell in love with him. His polite and cheerful personality attracted me since the first time I had set my eyes on him. Everything seemed like a fairytale when he was beside me. I remember, before we left, he kissed me passionately on the lips and it was like I was floating. It was our first kiss.

Unexpectedly, I was pulled back into reality by the waitress who came to ask me about my order. That’s when I glanced at the other table and saw that the couple was no longer there and the song of the rain was no longer disturbing the jazz music that was heard from the speakers. Now I know that the memories of him will forever be engraved in my mind…
