Blue Hour
The rain has always been
my home
my comfort
that which washes all away.
The place I could go
when the world got
Too
Heavy.
I let it wash
my sorrows.
It held me
like nobody else could.
Then one day you
sat with me
and never ran away.
You stayed when it was
Too
Heavy,
and became my home
in the rain.
Beneath the rain,
I float.
Droplets,
mist,
tangle themselves
in my hair.
"Come here."
"Close your eyes."
Together,
we float
in silence.
Together,
we watch
the darkness.
The wind carries our words away.
The rain settles
where they used to be.
Night held me.
Held you.
"When you're together,
you are not alone."
"¿Sabes?
Te voy a amar siempre."
said a voice—
thin,
crystalline,
almost imperceptible.
And I looked at you.
There you were,
beside me,
the faintest smile.
Watching me.
For the first time,
I felt weightless.
I flew.
We flew.
Through the blue hour,
letting silence
fill everything,
letting rain
wash over old wounds.
For the first time,
I was a little happy.
In this fragile world
we built together.
On this invisible bridge
between us.
In this moment,
beneath the rain.
For the first time,
I look at you
and something inside me
softens.
The rain is the blanket that holds me.
That
steadies
my pulse.
The rain never told me I was too much
It held me when nobody else could.
And you are what holds me
through the rain.
There is something special
about someone who's willing to sit with you
through the downpour,
who loves you
through the rain,
through the dark.
You are the softness of the rain
and the presence that I crave
when it all goes
..
..
Dark
We are not
alone.

"We are not alone."
That will stick with me.
This is so so stunning. The ending feels so beautifully earned! 😍
