"When it Rains Hard"

when it rains hard

don't fight against the flow

let the drops fall against the curve of your cheek

let them glide through your chin and learn every inch of your neck

let them fly with the breeze

when it rains hard

don't wipe the droplets away from your hands

let them make their presence known

let the thunder of the sky be worthwhile

let the clouds glaze through your eyes

let them be so they let you be

for they speak for your heart, be it against your will

when it rains hard

i want you to cry harder

cry for once and for all

so that the sunrise that lays ahead doesn't shine upon your morning cry

when it rains hard

don't fight against the flow

and when you don't, i know

i know you've finally learnt to let go
