Forgetting the chill of the drops that wet my cheeks

I cried, the memories blurring my surroundings - just how I was before

In solitude without color or sound, I remembered your warmth

As your voice softly enveloped my heart

Drenched in the downpour of rain

I am flooded by grief just the same

Those nights I cried out till my voice withered away

Are snatched away and dissipate

I won’t look back at the days I can’t return to

The hand you reached out to me

That I held gently as we walked this path

This soaked-through frustration, too,

All of it, nothing spared, disappears in the rain

Though I’ve grown used to the clouds blocking out the ultramarine

The feelings I began to forget in the far-off past suddenly came to mind

The warmth of the moonlight that cut through the silver rain

Combines with your kindness and sparkles

Footsteps will someday fade away, and I’ve already left the past behind

Even these soaked-through shoes will dry out soon

So I act strong, once again, as I face forward

In the moment I realized I wasn’t alone, the halted second hand

Began to move and carve out the future

Drenched in the downpour of rain

I am flooded by grief just the same

Those nights I cried out till my voice withered away

Are snatched away and dissipate

I won’t look back at the days I can’t return to

The hand you reached out to me

That I held gently as we walked this path

This soaked-through frustration, too,

All of it, nothing spared, disappears in the rain
