You feel like rain
Maybe because you once said
you love the sound of storms
But I think it’s more than that.
Sometimes you arrive without warning
tapping gently at my guarded windows
Persistent
until I let you in
Sometimes you arrive without warning
and everything in me
begins to grow.
You feel like wind
Maybe because you said
you hate standing still
But I think it’s more than that.
Sometimes I try to hold you
only to close my fists around nothing
Frustrated
because I wanted something solid
Sometimes I try to hold you
and realize
You were never meant to be owned
only felt.
You feel like fire
Maybe because you told me
you’re afraid of burning out
But I think it’s more than that.
Sometimes you are so warm
I forget the shape of cold
Drawn closer
even when I know
Flames do not promise permanence
Sometimes you are so warm
you light the quiet corners of me
that were learning to live in the dark. 🔥

Thank you so much for reading and supporting my work. I truly appreciate every view, comment, and bit of encouragement. It means a lot to me.
I’m currently facing an issue with my account suspension, and I’m trying to resolve it properly. In my last post, Tiffany Gordon mentioned that she had a similar problem last year. She shared that after contacting Justin the CEO directly, her account was successfully recovered.
For this reason, I may also need to contact the CEO via email regarding my account suspension. If anyone has his correct contact email, I would be very grateful if you could share it with me in the comments.
I’ve tried searching for the email but haven’t been able to find it. If you think it’s better to reach out through the Help or Support section instead of emailing directly, please guide me on that as well.
Thank you again for your time and support.
