I've come to love the rain.

I love how it makes the day cooler, makes the air damp, makes the ground soft.
I love how it keeps everyone indoors, and makes the waiting soccer players swear.
I love how rain washes away the old, and heralds the new.
I love how the rain brings back memories.

Memories happy and sad.
Memories of highs and lows.
Memories of me walking alone, and of others walking with me. Friends.

Friends who stand by me through thick and thin, rain and shine.
Friends who are merely fair-weather, but are great to have at the moment.
Friends who urge me on, friends who make me stumble.

But friends are friends. And i treasure them lots. Whether they've been there for me often or not, they've most definitely made a difference in my life, and I would never trade any of you for the world.

Think I'm bluffing? Try me. (:


I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you.
