A loud booming – the sound of everything I fear coming true; of everything I treasure falling apart at the seams, like the thin thread connecting us snapping into two. The pitter-pattering – having everything coming together and then falling apart; breaking away seems so easy, natural even; as with all the things that could have been. The bone-chilling cold – a feeling that would stop anyone dead in their tracks; same as your words: sending chills down my spine Life and sunshine – absent from your distant gaze past me; I don't remember the last time your presence enveloped me in warmth Strangely, all I think about on rainy days is you. You, you, you and just you. Maybe between me and you, the roles have been swapped: you are now cold and unfeeling, and I warm and full of emotion. But foreign isn't always harmful, and safe may not be safe after all. So really, thank you.

a passing cloud for a passing thought

I wrote this off the cuff, I hope you like it :)
