How You Exist in Every Season of Me

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.
