Tornado warning.

See, maybe you don't remember.

But I do.... I remember telling you when we first met how I couldn't date you.

Because I was still healing.

I couldn't handle loving so hard again.

I couldn't handle losing someone so violently again.

Like Someone being ripped

From my life like a Jewish family headed to a

Concentration camp.

Never knowing which one of us would be alive in the end.

If any.

You said you understood.

I was worth waiting for.

You doodled me Mumford lyrics on cards

About how soon I'd get over my fears

And have hope in my heart.

I told you I had scars.

And they weren't healing nicely.

I said I wasn't pretty.

You told me you didn't want pretty.

You didn't want perfect.

You just wanted me.

When I doubted the world

You showed up.

When I tried to push.

You grabbed my hands.

You stayed. You kissed them.

You told me how my hands could hold love again.

A love that only looked like you.

Because you would never leave my life

Like a tornado.

Leaving pieces of me everywhere that I would have to clean up when the sky cleared.  #travelblogger #wordporn #gooutside #trees #tornado #travelgram #explore #hike #canada
