Rain Showers

We emerge from the restaurant. Silently side by side, surprised by the suddenness of the rain shower. I want him to take my hand, as we run through the rain to his car. I want him to kiss me in the humid heat of his car while the rain pours all around us. A stolen moment in the middle of the day. These thoughts flood my mind as we stand waiting for the rain to stop. I know there will be no stolen moments. No sweet kisses, no lingering touches. My dream for us is long past, a moment that has been shattered. For now we are just two people watching the rain.

I remember wishing for just such an encounter prior to finding MM.

How depressing is it, when you're single, to find yourself in this situation only to see a couple running through the rain, laughing and holding hands.

Heartbreaking.

Rain, rain go away.
Come again another day.

Or as Miss Demeanor says,
"I can't stand the rain!"

Oh - the rain does not have to go away. I just need a man that will run with me in it.

Yes - it does rain quite a bit here in Houston. Perhaps why we are considered sub-tropical. Very hot, humid and lush. And it tends to be with umbrella unless I forget them, um, it in the car....
