Let us take a walk hand in hand down that road called Memory Lane to the times of sunshine and rain wishing our love had been built to stand. I can remember so clearly as if it were only happening yesterday, how flattered you were to here me say, Can I do something without you getting mad at me? We looked into each other's eyes and I wondered if you knew just what I meant, so quickly I leaned over to brush upon your lips not thinking how it would affect our lives. Do you remember now what you said? You told me that no matter what ever happened between us I would always be considered as your friend. Why did you say that to me if one day you would take those words away? If you were asked would you say all along you didn't have feelings for me? The picture has changed look over there, the two of us flirting with danger again, our hands touching places they shouldn't have been. For feelings like that I know you had to care. I'll never forget what happened then as I jumped in the air so you'd hold me tight. Of course you didn't expect it and it didn't go right, but we laughed as we landed in that dirty oil pan. We sure had some fun times don't you think? I think that's why I fell for you because of all the crazy things we'd do. I believed our friendship would stay afloat, never sink. On to another memory in my mind, it's one that reminds me of you because it was so dangerous and fun too, a time like that is not easy to find. It was a summer evening that you finally agreed, all I wanted was with you a ride to any place you'd take me, any old place would be fine, just the two of us together out on your banshee. You warned me once against going with you, you were a dangerous driver one I shouldn't trust for sure, I would be taking a risk if I put my life in the hands of you. We went through pastures of rough riding land with grass and weeds up to our knees. I held on so tight to you thinking this couldn't be, I couldn't be so lucky to have gotten this chance. Spinning around in circles we drove, you were doing what you could to scare me out of my wits, but it wasn't working I wanted more of this, and up the side of a sand pile you tried to go. I put my trust in you to pull a stunt like that to make it without bringing harm even though I thought We can't make it that far especially with me here putting weight on the back. And to the top we made it so easily only to find it dropped straight down the other side. My hands hit the handle bars, over you I started to fly and that's when I grabbed you praying for safety. That was a close one you admitted, for a minute I saw you on me and the banshee on top, but it didn't happen it was just a thought. There's no one else I'd want to share that memory with instead. Did you ever think you'd mean the world to me? Did you ever think I'd hold close our memories? There is another I'm positive you won't forget, it was the night I threw myself at your feet begging for you to just go and take me, I hope that's a time you don't look at with regret. You cared enough not to use me up, but showed respect for me like no other. You need to go home and take a cold shower was what you'd say when I wanted your love. I couldn't resist the temptation of finding out what you'd do, and mischievous as I'd always been with you, I knew one thing that wouldn't make you run. I gave you something special you didn't turn away. At the time I wasn't fully aware of it all, just having some fun hoping I'd make you fall, and forever now I'll be your -first- because of that day. There are so many places here on Memory Lane and now it seems we've come upon a bend, one path will take us to a world with no end and the other is just a dead end that's been made. Which road will you choose to take from here, one that stops or one that goes? Is it the same road that I follow or did your memories of me fade and disappear? Copyright January 12, 1999 by Bobbie J.
