They made a promise to each other
That even after they broke up
They would still think of each other
At least when it rains.

They carried out their promise to each other faithfully
Both of them did

Yet even when the rains stopped
The rain in their hearts pours on.

Always thinking of each other
With someone new at their side

They were in love
But just not meant to be together.

Just like the others before them and those to come
They spent the rest of their lives
with someone they didn't love

Love can be nurtured
They made themselves believe.

Yet nothing can ever sprout
out of a seedless field.
