A poem I wrote a few days ago, for an assignment.
Crazy San Franciscan Weather
Sometimes, I bask in the sunlight
just to remind myself of the warmth
I feel whenever you're around.
But then the breeze blows around me
and I have to remind myself of the chills
I have to experience when you're not.
Sometimes, I dance in the rain
just to remind myself that it's better
to face adversity with joy rather than sulk.
But then I get sick from my silly actions
and have to remind myself that I hate the rain,
because the sky can cry when I can't.
Sometimes, I sit alone in the cold
just to remind myself that I'd much rather
be stuck here than on a hot summer day.
But then I catch a glimpse of a happy couple
walking by, cuddling, and have to remind myself
that I'm alone and can't share warmth like that.
Sometimes, I don't always say it directly,
but I have to remind myself, so you need to hear it,
too, every once in a while: I really miss you.
