Too slow or too swift?
Thoughts based on Taylor Swift's song... that I didn't like.

Midnight Rain

I was midnight; he was sunshine.
He basked in the heat; I wanted rain.

He needs certainty. I want that too.
But he wanted yesterday, today,
and tomorrow to stay the same.
I needed change.

24 days was not enough.
24 months was far too much.
But in 24 years I'll be dead,
long past the pain.

He was daylight, making me breakfast.
I was midnight, listening to him snore.
I was happy. Why did I want more?

He was sunshine with a golden heart.
I was silver, shadow of the moon.
I love him still. Did I leave too soon?
