a place i hardly knew,
gave me you.
a plane flight over
to this small country
led you to me.
and over a few years,
eventually
you now lay in my arms
and protect me from harm.
you give me warm love
and a smile from above,
you have given me purpose
and while i am sure i do not deserve this,
you love me and i am in love with you.
a little poem dedicated to my boyfriend. sometimes it rhymes, sometimes it doesn't but that's okay. lowercase is intentional.
you said you loved me
i said it back.
you said you needed me
i was grateful to hear that.
you said you were mine
and i said i am yours.
you said you forever
and i said forever more.  
you said you didn’t want to lose me
and i was content
but then you disappeared
leaving my tears alone with nowhere to vent.

you blamed it on the timing
i didn’t agree.
you blamed it on yourself
and i blamed it on me.
did i not love you enough?
was my hugs and kisses too flat?
i said i love you.
but you didn’t say it back.
The poem being in lower case is intentional.
Rain, to me, is calming,
Its my safe space when the world gets too alarming.
I gaze in a trance as its falling,
From late night to the earliest morning.

Every drop that lays on my skin,
Seep into layers within.
I let it roll down my body,
How it finds my porcelain skin,
Welcome it as if its a lobby.

I let it sit between my knuckles,
I pretend it washes away my troubles.
I whisper to the rain cloud my deepest struggles,
And allow it to fall on me in bundles.

It proceeds to dampen my hair,
As if without a single care.
It clings on for life,
As there is a swoop of ghostly cold air.

It drenches my eyebrows,
Drops cling onto eyelashes below.
In my opinion, I prefer it to brother snow.

The sound reminds me of home,
A place where the sea foams.
Taking a quick waltz around my favourite town,
Enjoying and embracing the sound,
Of the sweet, blissful rain.
I wrote this late at night after having a fight with my friends. To calm myself down, I listened to some rain sounds and pictured myself walking in the rain. Enjoy!
