Rain poured relentlessly outside, drowning the world in a symphony of sadness. Amidst the downpour, an overwhelming silence enveloped the air, suffocating every hopeful thought. Before you stood the person you longed for, his face adorned with a melancholic smile, raindrops mingling with the tears in his eyes. With a voice so fragile, almost a mere whisper, he uttered the words you dreaded the most, puncturing your heart with a piercing ache.

"I...love you."
