the cold air
seeped through the denim
the seat of my jeans.
the damp ground
warmer than your eyes
looking into my soul.

looking at you
in that moment
i knew i'd never
forget that feeling.

the rain fell
all around us
forming puddles.
the clouds broke
basking the hurt
in new light.

in one summer storm
in one cool afternoon
in one blink of an eye
in one bitter heartbreak.

the taste of salt
lingering on lips
mixing with acid rain.
blurred vision
clearing up
like the weather.

i sit alone
on the soaked earth
on my empty bed.
i cry surrounded
by memories
by the storm

that was you.
