That night, only the umbrella you left behind came back, soaked and alone.

I took it gladly, thinking it was at least a trace of you.

The rain stopped falling, and your traces too gradually faded away.

They say the traces left by an old person should be covered by the traces carved by the next one, and I too had a next person.

But this morning, that umbrella was lying in front of my doorway again.
