I loved when my umbrella covered your sky, because my sky had already become like you.
When the rain stops and the clouds clear, don't return that sky to me—just fold it gently and keep it with you.
An umbrella hangs open against the stone that reads 'The Grave of My Beloved Wife, Kim Hye-young.' Rainwater flows.
