Letter Never Sent

Dear Rain,
Before you jump to any conclusions, just hear me out. It's not you, it's me. We have been growing apart for some time now. Although I am struggling on the inside, this is the way it has to be.
I am over you.
You see, it probably started sometime in high school, you probably ruined something that I cared about in my mundane high school life; but college is where you really started mistreating me. It wasn't fair that I was good to you, occasionally splashing in your puddles while you were watching and you continued to dump on me every time a cloud appeared in the sky. I tried to put some distance between us, I graduated college and moved back home where it never rained as much as it did in my college town, but you followed me. You have not left me alone in weeks it seems. You have been haunting my every outing.
I do think this is in large part due to me. I have changed. We have grown apart. It is probably all my fault but I can take no more. You have been making my socks wet for years and I have casually turned the other cheek, pretending that the would dry by the time I sat through class or maybe I could just slip off my socks while they dried, but enough is enough. I haven't been able to wear my new favorite Merrell's because husband says they will get ruined with all the rain. Now you are threatening my Christmas with your rain? You have gone too far. I know we had a history and I hope we can be friends again one day, but this is too much for me to handle right now. I will always love you, even if it can only be from a distance. You are sometimes too beautiful to look at, but lately you have been ugly with your power, and I don't love ugly.
I am sorry it had to end this way, but you will see that it is for the best. I will always cherish what we had.
graciously yours,
amy e.
