I don't know if I can call this love.
What I do know is that my mind
is a freeway that is too familiar
with rush hour and thinks bumper-
to-bumper traffic is normal.
However, she makes everything
feel like midnight.
The streets are empty and her car
is the only one on the road.
No one should ever try to hug the rain. You always end up soaking wet and by yourself.
