Dance in the Rain

D.I.T.R. - 20

I was in my bedroom sitting on my large king sized bed, listening to music that was on my iPhone. I just had it on shuffle, my head covered in pillow, just thinking. My head was full of tiny voices telling me what to do and I was trying to make a decision about Drake. After he asked me about what happened before, I just said I’ll have to think about it before I get back to him. After that I ran as fast as my half-asleep legs could take me up the two flights of stairs to the floor my bedroom was on.

My new bedroom was huge. I wanted a shaggy rug and they went a bit over board with it, buying me a massive silver one. It looked great in contrast to my black carpet and black bedding. I had small silver pillows scattered all over my bed for display. Mum and dad had fully payed for our new house; they even hired an interior designer for us. I think they did it because they felt like they didn’t really have much of a contribution to our lives. My wardrobe was massive and fully stocked with new clothes and my old wardrobe. I had a flat screen fixed to the wall and a grey couch in front of it. I had a massive sound system as well. There were mini speakers attached to the top corners and the docking station was quite small, on my bedside table.

When I got into my room, I changed into some small cotton shorts and a tight cotton singlet. I had been on my bed in the same position all night and it was now noon. The song I was currently listening to came to an end and the next one came on. It was Winter Winds by Mumford & Sons:

As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts

Oh the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms

Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night?

For every kiss your beauty trumped my doubt

And my head told my heart

"Let love grow"

But my heart told my head

"This time no

This time no"

We'll be washed and buried one day my girl

And the time we were given will be left for the world

The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague

So let the memories be good for those who stay

And my head told my heart

"Let love grow"

But my heart told my head

"This time no"

Yes, my heart told my head

"This time no

This time no"

Oh the shame that sent me off from the God that I once loved

Was the same that sent me into your arms

Oh and pestilence is won when you are lost and I am gone

And no hope, no hope will overcome

And if your strife strikes at your sleep

Remember spring swaps snow for leaves

You'll be happy and wholesome again

When the city clears and sun ascends

And my head told my heart

"Let love grow"

But my heart told my head

"This time no"

And my head told my heart
