He likes the rains. The heavy downpours particularly. Standing all alone while the drops ravage the soil.
The tears flow slowly. And the drops wash them away. Tears of grief, sorrow, melancholy.
These are emotions not to be displayed publicly.
So while the rains camouflage the tears washing away the grief, he returns back to the world he belongs.
No one has an inkling that he also sheds tears.

She was a good deal shock'd; not shock'd at tears,
For women shed and use them at their liking;
But there is something when man's eye appears
Wet, still more disagreeable and striking.
- Lord Byron,
Don Juan (canto V, st. 118)
Oormi - Thats why he likes the rains so much! The wetness in the eyes can be passed off as rain.
one should never be afraid to cry...its cathartic.
DC- you are right. But as we grow we try to hide emotions and hold back tears while the heart bleeds. Thats why the rains are such a blessing u see...
One cant trust rains nowadays!
Rusty - Thankfully the rains are here.

Shreyasi - Well....! Thats why they just end up walking in the cold November Rain.

Only strong men have the guts to cry. And to take someone elses tears
