3 AM

i remember when you let me call you at 3 am,
crying,
telling you how much the thunder scared me.
the way it made my heart race,
and my body panic.
the way it shook my soul.

you whispered in my ear,

the next time the sky tried to drown the world,
you'd be there to drown my senses in you.

and so i waited till the next storm,
eager to feel your breath on the other line,

but you never made it that far.
and im still afraid of the rain.
