It's just the rain

I'm not crying, really!

The water running from my eyes

isn't tears, it's just the rain,

that rain that drenches you

even when you're under an umbrella, you know?

The rain that only seems to soak you, understand?

But, in the end, who am I kidding?

I really am crying!

The sadness I feel,

not even the rain could

hide my tears.

Author's Note

Sometimes, not even a fake smile can hide our deepest sadness.

Hi...
My eyes too gets fill with tears often.. it's so intense and hurts... the rushing at morning and chopping layers of onions 🌰 😢

I remember this lines " you can't see me crying because it's raining. " ( hiding it)..
But yours simply awesome...
As much we are exposure to those emotions, it will hurt deeply...

( am quite happy that we have tear ducts, if not there means ... imagin our eyes keep raining our emotions, then our eyes gets stagnant and becomes foggy, so we will not dare to cry at all)

Keep writing 😊

Hi, Jeyanthi
I'm glad you liked it! It's always good to let the tears out; it helps relieve sadness. I'll keep writing, and maybe I'll write part 2 of I Will Love Her in Secret. I'm spending time with her... who knows where this will lead!

That's great to know...

How to hide your sadness when it turns to tears. Crying in the rain or in the shower. I felt this one. Nicely penned and relatable too.

We can always chop onions and say we're not crying, right? Thanks for the comment.
