~

There’s comfort in standing in the rain,
Knowing that your face is wet not only
Because of tears

And in seeing a sad movie,
Where everybody else is also crying

And just being by the bay
Where you can walk aimlessly
And nobody would notice

And in staying inside any chapel,
Where you are not required to do anything,
Or say anything,
And everybody else is silently praying

Perhaps it’s true that some people
Choose to be sad
Rather than moving on, a single step each day
For if loneliness is my only connection to you
Then for now, I choose to be this way.
