i.

thank god it's pouring down rain.

ii.

and i hope when this storm
moves south to you,
400 miles away,
i hope you think of me and
everything we didn't say last night and
how i almost passed out
at the goodwill checkout counter today and
i hope you'll think of me
but you probably won't.

iii.

as i gripped the wheel,
i asked myself why it seems like
i'm always driving into the storm.
i put my foot on the gas and reminded myself,
that i was driving towards the storm
because that's where home is.

iv.

it certainly doesn't feel like 3 in the afternoon.
and there are papers on my floor and
books i need to read and
laundry i need to do and
people i should probably talk to and
it's funny how everything seems to matter less
when i know you're not calling back.
maybe ever.

it doesn't feel like 3 in the afternoon but it really doesn't matter.

v.

i came home to see my post-its all over my floor,
like a rainbow shattered.
like when the sun didn't come out after the storm stopped.
like a fight that was just a fight,
where we don't kiss and make up at the end.
like letters without replies.
like everything
breaking.

and you know what?
they'll keep falling.

vi.

"what do you want me to say?"

vii.

for the first time in a long time,
i pray.
and i thank god
that it's pouring down rain.
like giving up.
