I can feel the rain


Landslide

I took my love, I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
and I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'til the landslide brought it down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Well, I've been afraid of changing cause I've,
built my life around you
But time makes you bolder,
even children get older
And I'm getting older, too

Well, I've been afraid of changing cause I've,
built my life around you
Time makes you bolder,
even children get older
And I'm getting older, too
I get older, too

I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain, I turned around
and if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
The landslide brought it down

It always takes me back to last summer. Riding in your car, windows down, smoking a cigarette, and holding your hand. It's very hard living in the past and the present every day. But I'm not ready to live in a place where you don't exist yet.

It poured today. Did you ever think you'd miss the rain?
I want to feel the rain forever.
"Grave digger, when you dig my grave could you make it shallow
so that I can feel the rain?"

  2. It gets easier. I wish I could actually give a verbal bandaid on it but it does get easier. This is not a boo boo anyone can kiss away. It's going to take a long time. Take this time for you. You are fortunate to have the rest of your life ahead of you. Make your life about you and your dreams. God does not give us anything we cannot handle in life and I believe that He believes that you are an incredibly strong person. Hunger and pain hurt. But you are blessed with a day after today.
    Oh, and quit smoking. It's terrible for your teeth.
    Love.
