What If This Storm Ends?

     "What if this storm ends and I don't see you, as you are now, ever again?"
     You might recognise the above as a lyric from Snow Patrol's 'The Lightening Strike', I was listening to the song and it struck me (like lightening), how much this meant with intention or simply through interpretation.
     "What if this storm ends, and leaves us nothing, just a memory, a distant echo?"
     This to me, is; what happens when this is all over, this...event, which we might dread, or otherwise actively fear, but I making something new happen or changing our perspective.
     "I don't wanna run, just overwhelm me..."
     I dunno, maybe I'm reading too far into it, perhaps not enough, but I think everyone can relate to it, when you're suddenly immersed in something so fantastically present, real yet totally unreal.
     But what happens when that temporary euphoria is gone, do we go back to who we are? What if we lose something only available at that second? What if nothing changes? What if we are forced to accept that we can't get whatever we had then, back? What if we simply forget?
     I imagine that this sounds both extremely contrived and cliché but it's true: you should absorb everything around you, you don't know what's happening next, but you can enjoy the now, before the rain stops, before the wind eases. Before this storm ends....
