As the rain gently strikes my window
I can’t help but enjoy it
As it washes away everything that has occurred yesterday.
Forcing all the progress that has been made
To start over
It’s refreshing
Always feeling way over due for me
Reminding me how much I love it
It’s not that you forget things you love
It’s that you forget what life was without it
Constantly being in love
Makes you unaware that you are
Until it stops
Then it’s all you crave again.
That same love
But I could do without the thunder
Because even from the other side of this window
Closing my eyes won’t make it vanish
Reminding me
Of things I might try to forget and ignore
But are very present
So they must be dealt with
It’s the only way I can go back to enjoying the rain
So for now I step away from the window
Knowing though I will return.
Next time I will open my door and stand in it
Quietly with my eyes closed
Enjoying the amount of love I have for it.
