An Ruroni Kenshin poem. Based on Soujiro Seta.
When it rains

When it rains,
No one can see your tears.
When thunder is heard,
No one can hear you cry.
No one sees your pain,
Until the lightning flashes,
Then, it is already too late.

A friend is lost,
Yet no one can feel the pain.
The solitude that used to go away,
Now returns with each passing day.
No one will understand,
Because the two that was once one
Is now a broken pair.

When it rains,
A cover is created.
When there is thunder,
Your cries are hidden and kept a secret.
When the lightening flashes,
All is gone, till the next rainstorm.
