"It's Like Trying to Catch the Rain."

There's a Rascal Flatts song called "Winner at a Losing Game." It's completely depressing, and possibly true, but that's not why I mention it. There's a line that says, "Have you ever had to love someone that just don’t feel the same? Trying to make somebody care for you the way I do is like trying to catch the rain." I'm still puzzled on what that means. Does it mean that when you try to catch the water from the rain it goes through the cracks in your fingers? I'm not sure I really understand the analogy. If I had to make my own assumption, I would say that it's like when the water falls in your hands, you have this false hope that it's going to stay there, but then it disappears. I don't know...it's just a thought.

On a different note, I went back to school today...four more months and I can get lost in the summer once again. I actually had a moment earlier today that I missed the summer so much that it physically hurt. I wish I could just go to the perfect moment in the summer and stop time. But I can't, so I just have to get over it and keep going. I feel so tangled right now, I really can't explain it, so I won't even try to go into it. The problem is that I'm an over-thinker; I think about something and disect all the pieces so much so that even less makes sense to me at the end than did in the beginning.

I have more to add here from my devotions last night, but I don't have it in front of me, so I'll save that for another post. For now, I have a lot of reading to do.
