To the One in the wind and the rain,
You stand there, drenched, feeling like you’ve missed your chance. It wasn’t your fault. Something was stolen from you—not just a moment, but a part of yourself, something irreplaceable. It wasn’t your fault. The weight of your friends’ anger clings to you. You have no umbrella, no shield against the storm, and the cold seeps […]
