A Drop of Midnight Rain

{Mariah}

After an hour of trying to sleep off this far too eventful day I rolled over to look at my alarm clock and it was 2 AM. What happened today should have broken my heart and destroyed me but in an odd twist of events I was relieved. Don't get me wrong, it hurt, but finally the insane weight of the freight train that had been charging at me just disappeared in that moment. None of my feelings felt wrong anymore. My guilt was gone because even with all of my feelings I never acted on them.

At this point I had worked myself so far past sleep with my thoughts spinning in such a vicious cycle I figured a snack may do me good. The only thing stopping me was who was usually down stairs this time of night. Yet I still went, maybe there was a subconscious hope that he would be there. My heart racing as I made my decent to the kitchen. Walking in I finally released the breath I didn't realize I was holding. I grabbed a drink and was walking to the library. I found him as I walked past the living room and I stopped in my tracks. He must have felt that I was there, staring at him and he looked over to me. The moment our eyes met I knew the events of today changed everything. I wasn't in an emotional cage anymore. My feet started moving before my mind even told them to. Before I knew it I was standing in front of him about to change the rest of our lives
