It was not the rain knocking at the window \u2013 it was me,
Calling you with every single drop.
The world sighed, and within the cracks of the mundane,
A moment slipped through, where I was by your side.

Your room \u2013 a temple where the books know my name,
And the shadow on the wall \u2013 an echo of footsteps in the silence.
Light glides over your shoulders, like my hand,
Which was afraid to shatter the perfection of the moment.

A tear or a smile \u2013 I do not know
What glimmered in the corner of your eye,
But I knew: you saw me.
And let it not be the body that touched you, but the word \u2013
For it was the word that once created the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
