I think I could hear the sound of the rain tapping outside
but that didn't matter
because I knew nothing would ever be louder
than the sound of my breaking heart
and the silence that ensued
forever afterward

Regardless, I'm still looking forward to my rainbow because it has been one hell of a storm.
