POEM:
I heard your voice
like thunder through the air.
Before I could think,
before there was a flinch
you appeared.
The storm doesn’t scare me,
especially when it sounds like you.
Regardless of what things look like,
you soak through my skin.
I don’t care how heavy my clothes get.
I don’t care how hard the wind blows.
It doesn’t push me back.
Whichever direction I walk
they all point towards you.
Like I belong in the middle,
somewhere closer to you.
I walk in you
until I am the only thing you see.
Before the thought of flinching
at the sound of your voice,
I remember
you are what and where
lightning kisses.
Before every storm,
there is a breath
that caresses my face
sweet and warm.
Soon after,
you appear.
I eagerly wait
for the sound
of your voice.

I know you.

To find a moment you hope lasts forever.
