How can anyone hate the rain

" how can anyone hate the rain "
You say with so much passion,
You spread your arms around and welcome him.
You claim to love the rain
But do you really ?

You love it only when you're sitting indoors, only when you're cosy.
You love it only when it's slow and steady
You love it only when it doesn't smudge your makeup or ruin your hair
You only " love " the rain on your convenience.
So how can u claim to love the rain ?
Because to love someone or something is to love it despite... Despite all their qualities and quirks. To love something unconditional is when u love it even when u hate it.

Even when you're soaked to your knees,
Even when it rues your day.
Even when it comes to you unexpectedly, inconveniently and suddenly.
Even when its in red and yellow,
Even when it's over... Even then, especially then !!

So when the rain comes to meet you
You open up your umbrella
You don't embrace it
You don't love it back
You just ... Settle
Settle for something u don't want.
You lie to yourself.
And the lies turn into a cry and finally u say out those words.... " I hate the rain "

But one day ,
The rain will stop.
The sun will come out
And you'll love it , I'm sure.
You'll love it for a few days until you realise, you cannot love something unconditionally because that's just who you are. And that's just who you always will be.
The rain is imperfect , but so are you.
And when it's finally gone... You'll miss it to the core.
And this time , you would want to love the rain, but till then... It would be too late
