You walked into my life
like the February rain.
It came sudden,
with a fair share of lightning
announcing its descent.
Basking in the pleasant airs
of the retreating winter,
I never knew I needed the rain
until it poured onto me.
It took me up in awe,
every drop resounding in my ears;
a melody so unknown that
it was the sweetest I’d ever
heard.
As a persistent breeze
filled in the spaces between
hot flashes and thunderclaps,
I couldn’t help but think of you.
