"Farewell in the Rain" (A poignant ode to love and parting) [Opening Whispers – A Melancholic Monologue] "It’s a rainy day, an afternoon drenched to the bone. The hospital lights are pale, like the last shred of hope torn from the sky. Our love, like these raindrops, falls one by one, never to return to the clouds. My hands still tremble, yet I dare not touch your fading warmth… Why must love so deep always end in farewell?" [Verse 1] If time could flow backward, I’d return to that spring, When flowers bloomed so bright, and your smile was a rose in full glory. Beneath the old tree, we spoke of dreams, of futures, of never parting, But now, those dreams shatter like raindrops against the hospital windowpane. How foolish I was, believing love could conquer all, Not knowing fate had already cast its net, swallowing us bit by bit. I long to hold on, yet I can only smile— Because your joy matters more than my pain. [Interlude Monologue – Rain as the Backdrop, Emotion Intensifies] "I try to smile, but every twitch of my lips feels like tearing my soul apart. Do you know? I’m not letting go—I’m setting you free. In this lifetime, walking with you this far is enough… yet the ache remains." [Chorus] Go in peace—this love, I’ll bury with my own hands, Like the rain washing our past into an illusion, a fleeting dream. Even if my heart is ground to dust, even if every step feels like walking on knives, I’ll walk away with dignity, offering you one last smile.

If I could, I’d become the rain, kissing your face one last time, Even if it’s the final closeness I’ll ever know, I’d cherish it. Your silence wraps around me like mist— A suffocating embrace. [Dramatic Interlude – A Heart’s Outcry] "You were always so kind, so gentle—how could I ever hate you? I hate this cruel fate, hate my own helplessness! But if it means your happiness, I’d gladly plunge into the abyss!" [Chorus] Go in peace—my love will turn to starlight, Guiding your path through every lonely night. Even if my soul turns to ashes, even if agony consumes me, I’ll still smile, etching your silhouette deep into my heart. [Bridge – A Love’s Cry and Confession] Love—such a merciless trial, Drowning in it, yet unable to break free. Hatred has long faded, for this love transcends life and death. Even if the sky collapses, I’ll guard our memories, Because one fleeting moment with you is enough to warm my eternity. [Final Plea – The Last Whisper] "Go now, take my love, take my blessings. Don’t look back—I fear I won’t have the strength to let go. Let this last rain wash away our tears, So you may walk lightly into the next chapter." [Chorus] Go in peace—this love, I’ll bury with my own hands, Like the rain washing our past into an illusion, a fleeting dream. Even if my heart is ground to dust, even if eve
