Rain

"Hurry up - the things gonna start again." I told Phoebe.

Then all of a sudden she gave me a kiss. Then she held her hand out, and said, "It's raining. It's starting to rain." Then what she did - it damn near killed me -she reached out my red hunting hat and put it on my head.

"Don't you want it?" I said.

"You can wear it a while."

"Okay. Hurry up, though, now. You're gonna miss your ride. You won't get your own horse or anything."

I felt so damn happy all of a sudden, the way old Phoebe kept going around and around. I was damn near bawling, I felt so damn happy, if you want to know the truth. I don't know why.

I must be a madman, being all lonely as hell at first and then being so goddamn happy next. It was just Phoebe looked so nice in her blue coat and all. And I was feeling just happy, like everything finally had its place. Sure it wasn't perfect, but at that moment it was. I could've stayed frozen in that moment forever and I'd be happy.
