The sky becomes darker.
I see you in the distance,
and I try to mask my surprise
when you acknowledge my existence,
as you walk towards me,
and the rain starts to fall,
-splitter-
-splatter-
and my name you call.
The way you say it
provokes a pain in my heart.
-splitter-
-splatter-
I can't believe you start
to try to come closer to me
with a smile on your face.
You wave, so I wave
the best I can with grace.
-splitter-
-splatter-
With each step you take
I wish more and more
I’d never made that mistake,
but you forgave and forgot
though you won’t take me back,
and I wish you would,
but trust in me you lack.
-splitter-
-splatter-
Regrets are pointless,
but I regret anyway
the pain that I caused you
on those unlucky days.
I saw your tears fall,
and I felt my heart break.
It was all my fault...
I made a mistake...
-splitter-
-splatter-
Suddenly I like that it's raining
for the first time in weeks
As you so casually say "hi,"
the raindrops blend in with my tears...
-splitter-
-splatter-
I’m grateful you can’t see me cry.
*Hopefully soon, I won't have to write these anymore, because working hard on myself will actually make a difference.*
...and I don't really know how to explain the sound of rain splattering on the ground, but I think I did a good job.
