I don't have to get wet
To know it's raining outside
I wanted to run after him
Inside, I felt like I'd died
But I knew it was over
What was meant to be, was
And we had had our season
And it had changed just because
That's how seasons do
They don't last, they move on
And they say it's always darkest
Just before the break of dawn
Our bright future was dark now
The rainbow was at an end
And in my sadness the truth lies
No need to wish or to pretend
I'll move on much more slowly
Than my sweet lover did
Right now he's soaring and searching
And to him, good-bye, I bid
I hope he finds happiness
Because he brought me much of that
But I still have peace and joy
And right now that's where I'm at
One day I'll open up my heart
And welcome someone in
But for now I'll keep it simple
And say, "Can't we just be friends".

Your rhymes are right on point and I felt the reasoning for this writ. Sometimes it is best to let go and remain friends. There is no harm in telling it like it is. I love the first two lines, they spoke to me from the real and raw of life.
Much Love ♥

I am sory you don't know rhyme because this definately does. It has a B/d rhyme pattern. You can't hear that when you read it? Outside/died, was/because, etc. You dq me unjustly.
