Eponine has been in love with Marius for a long time, but he never loved her. His heart is for Cosette, and Eponine knows it. She's happy finally because she is in his arms. The rain does not nescisarily exsist, but represents all that has been wrong in her life liek her abusive father, living on the streets and not being able to have Marius.
This song doesn't mean that Marius loves her, or notices that she is the only reason he's happy. He's only her friend, and she is dying, he obviously wouldn't leave her.
retart60 - while I encourage you to read the book, you may be disappointed. Marius actually hates Eponine, mistakes her for a man, and she tries to kill him. The musical is much happier than the book, and that really is saying something.
