the storm

pages upon pages i wrote
detailing every moment of our lives:
we were in love, it was true
and we were determined to be together.

then the rain came

hour upon hour i spent
explaining how we managed it all
we didn't have much; money was tight
but we were inseparable, no matter what

and the lightning flashed

day by day i prayed
hoping somehow we'd see this madness through
we were falling apart, everyone could see
and i didn't want to lose what we shared

and the thunder roared

mood by mood i watched
witnessing changes you swore would never be
we didn't know what to do, but i stayed
but i knew i should've listened to my heart

and the grass grew greener
