it's always water falling from the sky, but alone, it is soothing, calming.
with you, it's exciting and fresh. it smells like brand new streets and new countries. it feels like music notes falling on my umbrella - playing a familiar tune. rain grounds me. wherever i am, it's familiar. flitting off to different locales - the people change, you change, i change, but rain stays the same. except for the way it smells, the way it feels. that changes. it changes us.
raindrops are different when we're together. they act like a wall surrounding us, saving us from the world when we walk hand-in-hand under an umbrella. it feels like a cleansing shower when we get caught outside unexpectedly. it feels like its washing away the dirt in our souls, making us fresh for one another.
alone, i love the rain when i'm not in it. it's no fun getting soaked to the bone without someone there to laugh with. it's cold walking by yourself under an umbrella - all sides exposed to the waves of rain.
it's always going to be water falling from the sky, but there's something about you that makes rainstorms worthwhile. like i've been missing out praying for sun.
sunny days never affected me the way rainstorms have. sunny days don't make me smile, cry, reflect and feel like rainy days. because of you, rain feels different, smells different.
