Rain fell right before midnight,
Like the sudden realization that tomorrow was much too close.
The pitter patter of drops meeting the roof top, rolling down, collecting in the gutter, rushing out back to fall to the ground was nature’s pandora of night time playlists. It almost timed out perfectly with the pounding in my chest. But even darkness is not enough to keep the slide show of emotions from repeating.
