the rain pours down around me
and just like that, i'm crying.

a part of me has slipped away,
rushing down the street with the swift current.

i want to run after it, to catch it
and cradle it and make it a part of me again-
it's been a constant consistancy.

but the thunder crashes around me,
and i am still.

forgive me,

i whisper. but now i can live.

and just like that, i've let go of what i had
once-upon-a-time believed to be
my most prized possession.

forgive me.

AN: god, this hurts. more than i want it to.
