The weather today reminded me of you and your role in my life.
The early afternoon heat reminded me of how you always used to keep me on my toes. How you always had a way of taking my breath so easily. The way you never failed to spread a rose shade tint to my complexion, making me bite my lip, and try not to smile. Never wanting you to figure me out, like I had you.
Then set in a calm breeze, that reminded me so much of the many times when the eye contact and subtle touches sent shivers up my spine. The few times that I wasn't so nervous. The times when it was just us and your sweet talk. The way you made my legs shake, and almost buckle.
Fierce, loud winds came rushing through, reminding me of all the destruction you brought with your presence. Flickers of electricity going on and off, like the skipped beats of my heart. The rain that accompanied, symbolic of the tears that fell from my eyes at your command. The fallen branches and debris reminiscent of the fallen pieces of my heart.
The sky then faded to black, it's darkness reminding me of your absence. But it's peace reminding me that, maybe, just maybe I can forget you completely and feel free, like I was once able to so long ago.
The combination of the soft chirping of the crickets, light rainfall and the subtle breeze come together. They're gently singing a song of new tomorrows that are just a twirl of the sun away.
The night chill bringing it's reminder of a new season setting in - a new chapter in the making. One that your not apart of.
And for the first time, I think I might just be okay with that.
