Crying in the rain

Pin Lim 1982 (Montreal)



I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide...
All the sorrow and pain

If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from...
The tears in my eyes.

Youll never know that
I still love you so...
Through the headaches remains...

I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Will never wash away the misery
But since we're no longer together
I'll wait for stormy weather to...

Hide these tears I hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying is done
I'm going to wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool but till then darling
Youll never see me complain

I'll do my crying in the rain

    This poem has stayed with me. I read it almost a year ago and it resonated with me. The last lines are just breathtaking and the concept relatable.
