For Emma G

 

7:00am I wake up

7:10am I go back to sleep

8:30am I go for a run 

4:00pm I finish my class

4:15 pm The final rays of the sun disappear below the horizon

7:00 pm I hear the rain start

7:01 pm I open the window to hear the rain and feel the warm air on my skin

7:05 pm The rain reminds me of the last time I cried

7:08 pm The rain reminds me of a song my first love played into my spine

7:11 pm I can't be inside for an instant longer

7:11:05 pm I grab my phone

7:12 pm I step onto my roof and the rain hits my upturned face for the first time that day and the air feels clean and soft and maybe like remembering

7:13 pm I push play on my "young and in love" playlist and "I feel like I'm drowning" comes on

7:14 pm I dance under the falling raindrops

7:15 pm My chest opens and shines bright enough to light up the rainy night
