It is not simply because they reflect the sunlight that raindrops sparkle.
Nor do they sink into darkness merely because the darkness has encroached upon them.
雨の雫が輝くのは、何も太陽の光を反射したからではない。
雨の雫が暗く沈み込むのは、何も暗闇が侵食してきたからではない。

There’s a quiet beauty in the way you’ve captured this moment — the play of light and shadow feels almost meditative. Your words make the image linger a little longer, turning a simple scene into something reflective and gentle.
Wow, thank you. You made my day. I found this moment just after gentle rain, with those words in my mind. In Japanese, though.
