Tornado

He came into my life
 
 like a tornado
 
 Sudden
 
 Exciting
 
 Energizing
 
 And wild.

 
 And he left as suddenly as he came
 
 Leaving my world unrecognizably
 
 changed
 
 Leaving me lost
 
 Torn to peaces,
 
 Craving for more.

But then I realized

The meaning of this encounter

was soothing a greater storm,

Holding my heart through it,

Protecting me from it and mostly from myself,

And hugging our way out of it.
