"Why are you crying?"

asked Tree to Cloud;

Whose tears were the rain

falling down

"Nobody likes me, Tree

I am lonely"

Cloud replied sadly

"No, you're not! I promise I will

stay out here for you,

even if the sky is

no longer blue

Go ahead, let all your tears out

But I'll always be here,

I assure you!"

And such was true

Cloud soon stopped his tears,

Bright and happy

But even when he had

Gone away suddenly,

Tree kept his promise

And never went away
