The Reminder

I’m reminded of you whenever it rains.

You loved the rain.

I hate the rain.

I grew fond of the gloominess by living with your radiance.

You were able to turn the dreary atmosphere into a habitable environment.

I miss that feeling. I crave it.

I wonder if you’re out there watching the droplets kiss against your window.

You would kiss my cheek on days like this and tell me to lighten up.

I tried.

I look outside the blurry window, feeling unsure, looking for your comfort.

“You can’t have a rainbow without rain.”
