You seek leetle monkey.
today i was walking in the rain and i said the most incredible metaphor for any type of relationship, be it friendly or intimate. if i ever write a book/short story this is for sure going in it, except worded...you know...better.
you know how when you're walking with someone in the rain and they have the umbrella, you have difficulty getting under it completely for the both of you. if you stay out, you get soaked, and if you try to get back in, the spokes from the sides poke and prod your face and dont let you in easily. but if you get in too close and the person moves, then the concave shape of the umbrella pulls you in with them and you lose balance momentarily. the only way for you both to truly stay dry is to stand still, rather than wandering.
peter, what are you talking about?
oh nothing. just admiring the summer rain.
