Twin Drops

Rain.

The one thing that makes me feel fully comprehended, at peace, at home.

Oh Rain, I could just stare at you for hours and never get enough. So demanding, unstoppable, omnipresent. Light, thin, tiny and cold, so cold. All I wanted to be.

When you sing, I get lost. Taken by my thoughts when you hit the roof and sound so deep. Blown by enchantment when with some wind you hit the highest notes. You are just what I want to hear.

Sometimes I just stare, mesmerized. Watch you dance and fall from the sky continuously, imposing your will on whoever stands in your way. When I’m feeling alone, I go out and seek your embrace. I sit on the floor and let the blood, sweat and tears join the cold drops and I feel ready to tackle the world. All I needed to have.

Rain, darling, one of these days I’ll have you always by my side, willing to cozy up my stressful days and rock me to sleep on the darkest nights.

Shush, calm down. I don’t want to tame you.

Let’s be a storm together.
