last night

via

Last night you slept with your little arms around my neck,

Your eyes hesitantly peered to the window alive with light.

We listened to the rain drain from the roof to the gutters,

and fall down to the ground below.

Each crash of tremendous thunder,

thrust your wide eyes open.

We huddled together in a cozy twin-sized bed,

waiting for the storm to pass on.

Finally your eyes closed,

and your grip around my neck loosened.

As I slipped away to my own room,

I couldn't help but remember the same stormy-night feelings from my childhood.
