It was that day, that I knew.
Dark clouds engulfed the sky
Water fell
In an attempt to rinse the earth
Rid some of its hell

With every droplet that crashed
On the icy concrete floors
With every clasp
Of frightening thunder
With every falling teardrop grasped

With every tear that failed to form
With every lightning
That embellished the skies
With those unanswered questions
Of the never ending whys

With each hymn and song hidden
Within the ominous clouds
Without the flashbacks at my doorsteps
And no what ifs that constantly knocked
That came when clouds wept

Each time that those raindrops
Decide to dance outside
And serenade the flower beds
I'm inside holding a scotch glass
Now, containing water instead

That while listening to love songs
Which bring about hurt
Finally made me dance
Joining the outside rain
As its droplets pranced

Witnessing the heavy downpour
Coming as hard as it did
Without mercy or permission
Nor a shred of doubt
As it removed all confusion

Without a painfully forced grin
Or a sarcastic chuckle
Inside looking out
Nor a bitter smirk
But a smile drawn on my mouth

And a sense of relief
As my heart beats without longing
As the rain fell
Looking out the window
It was then that i knew well
