also

I smile when the storm starts

it makes me feel some type of “safe”

the way I did when you held me

or when you looked at me and it felt like home

maybe it’s because

love

is as unpredictable as the weather

or because the thunder

sounds the way my heart always did

the rain drowns out the silence

numbing the hollow feeling

of your

absence

I’ll watch the storms forever

thank them for keeping me company

they revive all the memories

and remind me

that somewhere

you are watching them too
