You had depression. You had so many troubles and worries about your family and you job. Especially because of your family. They didn't want you to be with Mark. You were stressed and tired. Life seemed too difficult to live for you. You've been waiting for a very long time for this hell to end, but it continued and continued and continued and...
There was only one thing, which was still able to make you happy: your boyfriend. Mark and you had been dating for about year now. You loved each other from the bottom of your hearts. He always managed to make you happy, no matter how sad or tired you were. If Mark wasn't there for you, then you would have already given up. Mark was your sunshine. He was so lively and energetic, that his want to live somehow spread on you too. He never failed to make you feel loved and wanted. You were truly thankful to him for that. Once Mark was home with you, you instantly forgot about all your pain and suffering.
He was your reason to live. Your only and the most important reason.
***
You were sitting on the couch in the living-room of your and Mark's house. You were drinking hot chocolate and looking out of the window. It was raining. The weather matched to your mood.
Mark was washing dishes in the kitchen. He decided to do it by himself because he saw how crushed you were filling right now and he wanted to do everything he could to make you feel better. He knew the reason of your sadness: the publishing office didn't want to publish your book. Writing meant a lot to you and your dream was to get your books published. Mark remembered what you told him today, when you came home: "Everything will be alright after I publish my book." You thought, that after you become a successful writer, your family would see, that your life only gets better with Mark and they will finally let you be with him.
He hated seeing you like this. He wanted you to be happy. He was ready to do everything, but he didn't know what exactly he had to do. He didn't understand why those people rejected in publishing your book because he has read it and he really liked it. He was looking at you in such state and it teared his heart apart. He was thinking about a way to cheer you up. He thought and thought an suddenly Bam! Something clicked in his head and he finally came up with the idea of how to make you feel better.
He turned off the tap and dried his hands with the towel. Then, he went to the living room, where you were. When you saw him, you got worried because he had a quite serious look on his face.
"Mark? Why are you so serious? What's wrong?" You asked him putting a cup with hot chocolate on the table near the couch you were lying on
Mark came closer to and sat down next you.
"I hate seeing you like this." He said and took your hand in his
"Don't worry about me." You told him "Once my book is published, all my worries will go away."
"That's it." He said "You always say, that all you have to do is wait a bit more and then you'll be happy. I want to show you, that you're wrong."
You gave him a surprised look and asked
"What are you up to?"
Instead of answering your question, Mark stood up from the couch and offered you his hand
"Let's go for a walk." He said
Your eyes widened
"Mark, are you alright? Have you looked out of the window?" You asked him
"Trust me. I know, what I'm doing." He said confidently
"But the rain is pouring outside!" You protested
"I know it." He repeated "Please, trust me. I want to show you something."
You gave up and took his hand. He smiled charmingly at you and you couldn't help, but to to smile back. Your mood was starting to brightening up. Mark leaded you to the doorway. He didn't stop to put on a coat or to take an umbrella. He went outside with your hand in his. You still had no idea, what he was going to do.
The air was cool and it smelled like ozone. You liked the smell ever since you were child. Mark inhaled the air deeply. Seemed like he was enjoying it too. Then, he pulled you into the rain.
"Mark, what are you doing?!?!" You started shouting "We'll get wet and sick!! I'm already wet!! Let's go home!!"
He didn't stop and only pulled you further
"We won't go home." He said "I have to show you something. I can't show it to you, when the weather is sunny. Stop thinking for a moment and let yourself go. Don't care about anything, but what's happening now."
You had no idea, why you were still standing in the rain instead of going home, but you didn't leave. You trusted Mark more than anyone in the world and you decided to trust him one more time. You relaxed and let him drag you through the rain. You two were completely wet. Everything: your hair, your clothes, even your underwear was now wet because of the rain.
Mark pulled you closer to him and wrapped his arms around your waist. He started wiggling with you from side to side and humming a song quietly. You recognized the song immediately. You and Mark kissed for the first time, while you were listening to it.
The words get trapped in my mind
I'm sorry I don't take the time to feel the way I do
"Mark, what are you doing?" You asked, yet a soft smile appeared on your face "Stop, the neighbors are watching"
"I won't stop and I don't care if anyone is watching." He murmured into your ear
"But..." You started
"No buts." He interrupted you
He continued singing and dancing with you. The rain didn't stop, though
'Cause from the first day you came into my life
My time ticks around you
You started relaxing and you even found yourself enjoying the dance. You wrapped your arms around Mark's neck and started dancing too. You still couldn't understand why he was doing all this, but you didn't care. You even started singing along with him.
But then I need your voice
As a key to unlock all the love thats trapped in of me
So tell me when it's time to say "I love you"
It felt so wrong, yet so right. It was raining and you were dancing in the street! That was crazy! Maybe it was exactly that craziness of that moment, that made you feel at ease and forget about everything, except for Mark and the lyrics of this song. You two didn't care about the whole world. All you cared about was each other. You were singing and laughing loudly and the whole neighborhood could heard you. The rain started to go even more, than before and you started to sing louder.
All I want is you to understand
That when I take your hand
It's 'cause I want to
You pulled Mark closer to you by his neck and kissed him. The kiss felt as if you were trying to put all your love and gratitude for just being with you in that kiss. That kiss was a way to show each other all the feelings, which were burning inside of you. You were young and you were in love. Your names were written on each other's hearts because you were meant to be together and in that moment, you weren't just existing.
You were living
We are all born in a world of doubt
But there's no doubt
I figured out
I love you
"This is what I was trying to show you!" Mark exclaimed, when you parted "We're happy, even though it's raining now! It's a metaphor, see? You don't have to wait for happy times! You should enjoy every moment of your life and live for the fullest! You always tell, that things will get better once your book is published, but I want you to understand, that you don't have to wait! I love you with all my heart and I want you to be happy right here and now!
And I feel lonely for
All the losers that will never take the time to say
What was really on their mind instead
They just hide away
You pulled him back by his neck and kissed him again. This kiss had words "I understand now" and "You are my happiness" in it. Mark was surely a gift from God to you. You loved him so much, that you felt like 50% of your body was made from your love to him and the best thing you knew was that 50% of his body was made from his love to you
Yet they'll never have
Someone like you to guide them
And help along the way
Or tell them when it's time to say, "I love you"
So tell me when it's time to say "I love you"

A/N: anyone recognized the song? ;)
