It rained
and rained
for months on end
I was fine with the rain
until I was standing
alone
and it began to storm.
I was shaking
beneath the weight
of my umbrella
that I stubbornly clung to
until one day
rain, rain
finally
it went away
never
to come another day
everyone told me
the skies could only get bluer
and the sun
proved them right
as it broke
through the clouds
and I saw
a rainbow:
you.
