February Rain

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.
