do you miss me when i'm gone... will you miss me if i leave.
those words run through my mind in excessive circles. i guess that's my question for today... is that if we make that much of an impact in another person's life, that their daily routines are affected by it. if it makes them stop, just for a moment, to think to themselves about you. if they feel as if their day is just a little bit incomplete without you.
maybe all it boils down to is appreciation. valuing all the little things that make a difference. if the person you've devoted yourself to so wholly appreciates the things you do for them. and if that person, in some way or form, tries to repay everything you've done for them with some form of appreciation, be it a subtle, loud, simple, colorful, cheesy, romantic, sexy way.
and when it comes down to it, it is really all that holds everything together. appreciation. the relationship glue. it is the one word that determines the distance between us.

in light of hurricane ike... i want to talk about rain.
you see... love is no different than rain.
like rain, it comes and goes as it pleases. sometimes we're prepared, walk around on a cloudy day with umbrellas in hand. but most of the time, it catches us so completely off guard and we end up soaked. love, it is everywhere. we can embrace it or run from it. stay dry... or play in it.
when it comes... it pours... and when it doesn't... we thirst for it... search for it in a drought... die without it... because what we are, is made from it.
love, it is no different than rain.
