a surprise revelation

it's October
and I don't know how this happened

one day the sun shone so bright
my jeans trapped the heat so tight
I thought I would burst into flames

today was rainy.
cold, dreary rain

not.
i repeat, not the kind for puddle jumping.
for that is a different kind of rain altogether, isn't it?

Somehow
in my still puzzled state
I'm baffled
as to how the unstoppable joy
(that I thought came with the sun)
has not disappeared.

Oh, I know!
it's because I'm still here with you.
