Just let it rain

It’s raining today. Then, I think of you.

Roger remembered that tonight will be two years since she left. He could still clearly paint in his mind the beauty she was that night. Liz wore the white shirt he gave on her birthday which coupled his's. When Roger looked at her, he thought that her eyes were brighter than the moon that night.  Her hair is as glowy as of those dancing fireflies around the tree where they first met and carved their names. He brought a small cake because that night was another year of their undying love.

Roger held Liz’s hand and he felt they were very cold. Roger denied the fact. He thought that tonight is the night to tell her. His future plans. He was ready and he memorized all the lines. But this was all interrupted when Liz spoke the first word of that moment.

“Roger”, she said. The word sounded like a whisper. Liz gathered herself and continued. “You and I, we’re over. I knew you have loved me without a doubt and so do I. I just can’t see you anymore”.

Roger didn’t blink an eye. He couldn’t believe what he just heard. His heart never pounded that fast as if he came from a long walk. He wanted to protest but he got stoned. He dropped the small cake and it was scattered to pieces. A silver ring was revealed. His future  plan. He has never said the words he perfected to say.

Liz ran away as fast as she could like a child chased by her mom. Darkness swallowed her as she went farther. Away from Roger.

The place started to go colder. The nimbus clouds seemed to fall. And then, the sky cried.

One year passed and Roger heard that Liz died of leukemia. He never knew that Korean melancholic drama does exist.

Tonight he thought she just left. But she weren’t there on that same place, so he guess she’s really not coming back. Gone for good.

 He can't stop the rain from falling. And though it hurts, Roger just let it rain today.
