Oh, my dear summer
and rain
and goodbye
why did you conspire
to break my heart
altogether at once
why do I have to remember
you both, as
the happiest
and the saddest
memory
like a photograph
capturing
every smile
not knowing
the loneliness
behind
the gloomy feeling
after each radiant
and charming smile
my dearest summer, rain
and goodbye please cease
to connive and stop breaking my heart
altogether, at once

Rain and summer seem to go together for me – and to dance in the rain is a joy. But I can see how that is not the case for everyone. We do often have the world washed of color making our view very dreary but I feel it is our own interpretation that colors the experience. A lovely poem! You did capture the connection of summer, rain and farewells.

Love the conflict in your words – happiest/saddest, break/altogether, gloomy/radiant. It definitely captures the conflict of relationships – the person you love to hate or the person you hate to love.
