Raining in Homs!

A long lost feeling of vulnerability just pulled itself over me,
Suddenly.. RAIN, I haven’t walked and got swamped like this since last [obviously...], I’m all wet and soaked out…

I’m a really happy person today… the streets are empty… and I’m walking with Travis’ “Last Train” beating in my ear… and it’s raining like hell… and a little feeling of coldness… it feels like ur gonna start crying!!! just like ur in love, yet u’re not…!!! I’m in love, yet I’m NOT… I’m just aone really happy person…

I haven’t felt this way for this city for a while… maybe cuz I’ve seen it naked for the first time, naked of all ppl, cars and crowds…
or maybe cuz everything looks far better in the rain!

whatever it is, Homs was brilliantly beautiful today!!!!

    Heavy Rain does have that effect. It’s gorgeous. I totally agree with you on that one.

    I’ve always loved to get soaked in the rain but not really alone. I’d rather have somebody with to share the fun with :D

    Glad to hear you’r enjoying it.
