Rain Rain Come Again

I woke up Saturday night to the storm outside. There was lightning, some thunder and a pretty strong sound of raindrops. It was 2AM. The dog woke up as well, but only because she was afraid of the rain. Me? I love the rain. Not always, but there are certain times that it just makes me feel "different".

We have certainly had our connection to the rain over the years. It always seems to provide me with nice memories (flooded basements being the lone exception). I kind of associate our relationship with the rain. Not in the storm sense, but in the romantic sense.

It would be impossible for me to forget our first memory of rain together. It was among the most intimate moments of our lives. I am not sure why we were laying on the floor and not in a bed, but I remember how close our heads were to the open window. The rain fell beautifully outside. A clasp of thunder here a flash of lightning there, all filling our romantic evening together. The sound of The Cure's Disintegration CD played in the background. It was romantic, passionate and most certainly memorable. It was as if the rain fell in rhythm with us as we kissed and touched. It remains a moment I recall often and a moment I will never forget.

The rain quickly involved the girls. Even before we had them. OD you remember me telling you about my dream of how I was playing with them in the rain? We lived in the townhouse at the time. I am not even sure that Kendall was quite born yet. I know Megan wasn't. Yet had this very vivid dream on playing with them BOTH in the rain. I regrettably don't think that ever really happened. However, the dream was so real.

I remember numerous times when we got soaked together in the rain. However, one time sticks out. I remember kissing you in the rain. It wasn't raining that hard. We were both very wet though. Your hair was very wet and looked very sexy. I am not sure why we stayed in the rina, but the kiss is very memorable to me.

I can also remember a few times in our pool when you and I swam around while raindrops fell on top of us. While that isn't very safe, it was always very cool.

So when I woke up the other night and heard the rain. It just reminded me of how much I love you. It reminded me of how I pretty much associate everything with you in some way. But rain, although a nuisance to most, is not to me. It is way to relvie some really nice memories of you. Some truly romantic moments. Some truly cute moments. Some fun moments. But mostlyu, just moments when we were together.

You're the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
