If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t be so cheerful, so lovable. If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t be crying till I had no tears left. You gave me all the happiness I could ever wish for, but also a hint of sadness.

It was raining again. I was walking back home from school alone, holding the purple umbrella you gave me. My shoes made squishy sounds and drew ripples in the water. I stopped in my tracks and listened. This time it was just a mild drizzle, just like an angel’s whisper. It was sweet, soft and calm.
