That Song

We all have that song. The song that no matter where you are or what you are doing, every time you hear it or even think about the lyrics or melody, it takes you back. That one song has the power to take you to that once place in time where you felt simply, amazing. You were on top of the world. Well I have that one song also, here's the story.

"I can feel the rain fall down when were together" OK, I'll admit, when i hear that song the person i was dating at the time, was a thousand miles away, and we hadn't even held hands yet. But still, the steady beat of the cool rain on the sickly green leaves of the California palms added a nice note of remembrance. At one point i stood in the downpour, just stood there. trying to escape the boredom in the big California mansion that we visit each and every year. Don't get me wrong there is plenty to do in the 16 mountain acers in the beautiful Malibu mountains. Though in a rainstorm the 10,000 square feet of narrow hallways and twisting staircases, and untouchable, not to mention breakable, pieces of art that filled the house we were in offered little refuge from the long hours of nothingness accompanied with a long rainstorm in California. However when my boyfriend and i would be on the phone, talking of absolutely nothing. That rain wasn't so bad, and in that rain a friendship grew to something more, and when the rain falls, or that one song plays on the radio, i am back in that mansion, sitting in the downpour. When i hear that song i too am on top of the world because the feelings that are connected to that lyric and melody, they remind me of falling. It reminds me that not only the rain was falling that night, but i was too.
