There before me stood a man with considerable height, a natural tan complexion, with substancial facial features that could possibly lead to the greatest level of excellence known to mankind, a heart made of candy corn, every bit of him ravelled in sweetness so different he was that instance then when we had first met years ago at the age of 13 Anyway I eventually drove away with him in the depths of the mysterious hills on that cold electrifiable September evening, with my windows frosted over and the headlights from the opposite direction creating ice crystals that glistened upon my windshield. We didn't know are destination (still don't) never really had one, and now two shocking years later the same man I thought I knew so completely wasn't really who I thought, My mind created this picture perfect image, painted the flaws, concealed the imperfections, perhaps the intuition of him being that great father he said he would be and that I believed he had the potential of being, got me so carried away that I ignored every aspect of every situation that would influence me to change the way I felt for him. And it's really sad that I was so naive so fixated on wanting to be loved that it took all this time for me to realize that that candy corn heart was coated with battery acid...
