Walking In The Rain


I still remember our first days together.

How we thought nothing 

of doing those things

people do while falling in love. 

Walking in the rain, 

catching the falling snow, 

picking wild flowers.

How long ago was that?

Seems like forever.

Now we always take our umbrella

when it looks like rain.

We stay inside during those snow storms. 

Everything just seemed so "right" back then.

Not a care to worry about.

Not a worry to care about. 

I have to say I kind of miss 

those days from long ago.

I miss the spirit we had. 

The excitement of falling in love with you.

More than anything else, 

I miss us. 

The way we were.

Caught up in the everyday world 

and all the business a household demands.

All the time we spend away from each other. 

Even while together. 

Perhaps it's time we thought about

leaving the umbrella at home.

Maybe we should start looking forward

to the falling snow again. 

Please take my hand once more. 

Let's walk in the rain. 

Let's make some angels in the snow.

Let's fall in love all over again.
