Suddenly this defeat.
This rain.
The blues gone gray
And the browns gone gray
And yellow
A terrible amber.
In the cold streets
Your warm body.
In whatever room
Your warm body.
Among all the people
Your absence
The people who are always
Not you.
I have been easy with trees
Too long.
Too familiar with mountains.
Joy has been a habit.
Now
Suddenly
This rain.
Anonymous submission.

☔'s notes:
Hi,
How's everyone doing :))
It's almost newyear
Many things had happened within this 2019,idk why the bad experiences lingered in me. Glad a friend taught me patiently to let go. He said if we can't forget it then be it : don't forget it, let's learn from it. Let the past stay in the past, let us all go out strong for our dreams and future💜
My best wishes for you, readers, may you have a wonderful journey ahead..I am glad to be a part of your past, how I'm looking forward to be with you all again in many days to come. Thank you for everything..
Happy newyear 2020 :)) 🎇🎉
💜,
Rain☔
