I loved you like backwards rain;
Like upside down snowflakes;
Like criss-crossed streaks of
Lightning.
It was sudden;
It was fearless;
It was a
Beautiful,
Ridiculous mess.
But the rain stopped.
The snow melted,
And I couldn't hear the
Thunder anymore.
You wanted another,
But the sunshine
Of my heart is
Still a storm.

You have such a mastery of simple, elegant, soul-breaking phrases. I am drawn into your longings and in the same instant, they are torn from me as they are torn from you. You cannot hear the thunder and I find myself deaf to love.
And it aches.
