Chapter 25

Rain has stopped
What's wrong?
Why are you still crying?

Sun has risen
Why are you still
Wearing a raincoat?

You said you were
Anticipating
The upcoming rain

But you will never ever
Feel the
comfort of the Sun

Then you stared at me
Glassy-eyed
And then you replied,

You never once saw a rainbow
Because after every rain
Another rain came

You knew this time no rain would come for long
But you knew in the Sun

You would also get burned
So you wore your raincoat
All day long

***
In the sea of faces crying,
You wish you can turn into just another transparent colour
You decided not to dream, grieve, or cry
You have decided, you have decided.

You silently endure
Tightly holding yesterday in your hands
But the sweeter the memory, the deeper hurt you will feel.

You are not truly happy
Your smile is just another protective colour
You decided not to love, you decided not to hate
You decided to lock your heart forever in a shell

You are not truly happy
Your wounds have always refused to recover
I stand at your side
But it feels like there is a border between us
Must you live forever with regret?

You deserve to be truly happy
You should remove the protective colour you are wearing
Since you have already lost her,
why are you still punishing yourself?
Why not just let your sadness and pain all end now?
And start a whole new life
