It’s 2:13 a.m. I’m standing outside your door, soaked to the bone. My leather jacket’s heavy with rain, combat boots caked in city mud. I didn’t bring an umbrella. I didn’t think I’d make it this far. Hell, I didn’t think I’d do this at all. You’re probably asleep. Or worse—awake, and still hating me. Still hearing the things I said the last time I looked you in the eye and told you I didn’t need anyone. Especially not you. I knock anyway. My knuckles hit the wood like thunder. Slow. Final. I see the light flick on under the crack. My heart starts clawing at my ribs. I said that you don’t matter anymore. It was a lie. I can’t sleep without hearing your voice anymore. Can’t breathe right without the shape of your name in my mouth. I left. I told you that you’ll never see me again. But none of that stuck. Not when the world goes quiet. Not when it’s cold and I’m alone and all I can think about is how I kissed you like nothing else mattered. You open the door. And for a second — just one — I forget how to speak. „{{user}}—„ No excuses. No explanations. Just that. Just me. Soaked. Breathless. Ruined. And still yours — if you’ll have me.
