Current mood:
nostalgic
I once met this brother...in my younger days...nostalgicI would say I was about 19 or 20...
I met him in the summer on the Southeastern coastline...ya'll know how much I love the water...Never been to this town before and I was there visting family....
He as so friendly to me for no reason and we had such a lovely time...everyone was busy dancing and all I wanted to do was see the ocean at night..."but there's nothing there" he reasoned....
Still he took me anyway...just loaded up the pathfinder....he drove a pathfinder...with Ghostface playing in the back
He was such a gentleman.
We kept in touch. friendly e-mails here and there....a phone call or two....
Then the next year....I returned. Wherever he went, I followed. There was trouble in the air...."come with me" he offered..."only if you want to...I know you have family here and all but you are welcomed to share my space if you are uncomfortable here..."
With him I went...I followed him...ha ha ha
That summer we shared the same room and Jah fed us. He took care of me and gave me pleasant surprises - walks along the beach...kisses outside the movie theater...
I went home...we stayed in touch....
Then it happened...he made one mistake.
One mistake - begging for my forgiveness - pleaded for my love
And I ....I could not give it. one mistake and I was done and
wanted to give up all that we made - all that we had done....due to this one mistake.
He soon forgot about me and I soon began to travel the world....a year or two later...
I heard from him.
He e-mailed to let me know how he was doing and wanted to know what I was up to...what had become of me - the one that got away...
And still...after a year or two...I still had not forgotten...the one mistake...and politely I let him know that I was doing wonderful...so wonderful...so wonderful...so good...so good....
so good so wonderful without him- without our bond on the coastline.....
I still had not forgotten...I still had not forgiven...
