The clouds rolled by, getting darker it would seem by the minute.
The heavens opened.
The rain began to fall, slowly at first, then faster and faster, with each passing drop.
The hail fell out hard and fast, so huge they became.
The thunder did rage,
The lighting did light up the night's sky.
At the moment that you did leave me.

I watched you walk off,
excited of your adventures to be had,
while I'm left behind here,
to pick up all your pieces,
you scattered about,
like petals of flowers swirling in the wind.
I'll do you proud, just you wait and see.

Just like that,
the opposite occured.
Bad became good, just like that.
Now I feel so very blessed.
I treasure all the moments
we had together.
Only have to close my eyes and there you are.
