it's raining again

the forecast said clear skies. it rained anyway. it always rains here now.

she used to say the rain was just the sky being honest. i didn't understand what she meant. i think i do now.

i still walk the long way past her house. the light in her window never comes on.

i have her umbrella. she lent it to me the last time i saw her and said i could give it back tomorrow.

i wrote her a letter every morning for a year.

they're all still in the drawer. i never knew what address to put on them.

most of them just say good morning. some of them say i'm sorry. one of them only says , over and over, until the page runs out.

i stopped in the spring. not because it got easier. i just ran out of paper and couldn't make myself buy more.

the counter says 000000.

someone was here.

i used to refresh it at night to see if anyone came. nobody signs the guestbook anymore. i leave it open anyway, in case.

her room

everything is where she left it. the bed is unmade. there's a half-finished drawing of a cloud taped to the wall.

she always smiled the most on the days she felt the worst. i only know that now. i was looking right at her and i didn't see it.

if someone you know smiles like that, ask them. ask them twice.

she set this page up for me. she said everyone needs a little room on the internet with a window in it.

she picked the name as a joke. i never changed it. i never changed the password either.
