as i left your house in confusion,

i took out my phone.

-are you okay?

jjk- no

i looked up towards your window.

i could see your outline through the darkness.

you looked so calm.

i was going to leave,

but my phone started ringing.

"hello?"

"please, i need you."

your voice was shaky.

"i'll be there as fast as i can."

a small smile appeared on my lips as the sound of roaring thunder took over my ears.

you weren't as afraid as you let on.

you wanted me to be beside you,

but you didn't want to admit it.
