For Alvin.

Sometimes the rain pours and pours

And you think that it won’t stop

That it will cause a flood

And you’ll literally drown in your sorrows

You don’t remember the sunshine

Feeling like you can’t face anymore tomorrows.

The days are rough

Trying to focus your mind on other things

seems like a purposeful disregard

but you’re just trying to stop yourself

from letting it sink in

trying to stop yourself from sinking into

the small river formed by your tears

cos the moment it sinks in

that’s the moment it becomes reality

a reality where sanity is insanity

and what seems to be right is wrong

and the pain lasts for too long.

But I tell you this, beautiful,

The rains must fall

The storms must rage

It’s not your fault

And soon the pain

Will fade away

The same way a windscreen wiper

Gets rid of the rain

You are strong, and the sun soon shine

Keep your head up, oh pretty friend of mine <3
