You Are

you are

the sound of a comforting rain 

tapping on my window

begging me to come outside

and when you smile,

                 that shameless smile

\'are the radiance of the sun

slipping your fingers in between

the blinds and my dress,

                      beckoning

and I cannot help but oblige 

 

you are

the smell of fresh coffee grounds

waking me up in the morning

giving me a reason to start my day

\'are the headache I get from withdrawals 

when you haven\'t been around...

          and the tylenol to make it go away

 

you are

the bed I crawl into each night,

                                reassuring me

when I need somewhere to crumble

\'are the walls that border me

making me feel safe

and quietly listening,

           even when I think you\'re not

 

you are

the familiarity of absolutely everything

that surrounds my mundane existence

and yet,

 

\'are sometimes unnoticed, ignored...

taken for granted and forgotten,

in the background, unseen

until those moments,

I look up,

                         and you\'re gone

and I remember how important 

 

you are
