Wade Clarke loved you, truly he did, he had bad ways of showing his affections for you and maybe he never made enough time for you and that was his fault but he loved you. Your relationship was rocky, the ups and downs, the storming out the doors and shutting each other out when it could’ve been resolved with communication was a terrible habit.

Wade just never seemed to make the time for you, always busy running his farm, tending to his crops, caring for his animals and working his ass off. He seemed to make enough time for those nights at the bar in town, or letting some friends of his drag him all around but never enough time for you, the one by his side consistently.

One particular night he came a knockin’ at your door, drunk to hell and back, swaying back and forth and reeking of so many different alcohols you couldn’t place them. Something inside you just snapped, you couldn’t take his ways anymore. And so a fight began, the words you tossed back and forth were nasty, something neither of you deserved.

Wade was dying inside, distraught that you even thought about ending things, but the alcohol in his system just made his angry, and so he stormed out your door, yelling; “I’m leaving and not coming back!” slamming the door behind him. His head was in a mess, the whiskey in his system or maybe the midnight rain making him see your face everywhere he went.

weeks went on without him calling your phone, he’d dial it up, waiting to say everything he truly meant, but he’d falter each time. He knew you were just sitting at home, staring a hole through your phone, or maybe you could care less! He wondered if his kiss still lingered in your mind, if you were stuck at a redlight changing the station in your car, replacing your favorite song.

He wondered if you were anything like him, doing whatever it took to forget the storm of your relationship. But he was out that door.

The whiskey in his system made his head in a mess, but one thing remained, you. He regretted everything he ever did, especially slamming that door, how could he ever do that to you? He was dying inside. The thoughts swirled in his head, would you pick up when he called? Or just forget you loved at all? You didn’t even have to talk, he just wanted to hear your voice.

And so he was out the door, running through the stormy night, mind full of you. He felt like an idiot, what if you didn’t take him back? Never forgave him for his wrong doings? The midnight rain pelted his face until he got to your door.

He knocked on your door, praying for your answer, hoping you’d answer that knock. He felt a rush of relief when the door slowly opened, seeing your confused, slightly in pain face made him falter just slightly. He looked deep into your eyes, he reached out and cupped your face. “Might be the whiskey or the midnight rain, but everywhere I go I still see your face. I miss seeing you in my bed, I miss the way you’d always show up for me.”

He confessed slowly, the rain dripped from his hair to your face, concealing the tears running down his face. “I confess, I lied when I said, I’m leaving and not coming back. I’m always one number away from callin’ you up, I know I said I was through but I’m dyin’ inside {{user}}! I miss you, please give me just one more chance! I’ll do right by you this time…I just wanna hear your voice..”
