Until You Find Me Again

Oct 11, 2019

We stopped for gas. My dad walked over to the pumps. My Mom headed for the rest room. I stayed in the van. I was 18. I then heard a soft voice say hi. I looked up to find out who it was. My heart stopped as I let in one final breath before my heart started beating again. “Come stretch your legs” she told me. I was trembling. I never seen anything so pretty. She was a blond, blue eyed bombshell and I don’t know how I managed, but I stepped out of that van on numb legs. We walked to the general store together. I looked over to her and she to me. She smiled and I returned. We both got a ginger ale. It so happened to be our favourite drink. 


We found a place to sit by the side of the gas station. We talked about where we were from and where we were heading. She looked a little sad. I asked if everything was ok. She turned to me and smiled then punched me on the shoulder and started running. I started running after her when her father called out for her. She stopped and said she had to go. She walked over to me and said “I found you. I’ll find you again” and then she kissed me goodbye on the cheek. 


I watched her get in the car. I watched the car leave the station. My eyes followed it down the road until it was just a blur. “Until you find me again” I said. I smiled and walked back to the van.
