If only I could try again. Fix everything; now I see the variety of roads I could've gone down. But no. Taylor took my hand and led me down the rocky one. "Come on," he said, "it will be fun if we go together." trusting him wasn't my first mistake. My first mistake was straying from the main road. Wandering off to the right and I found him waiting. Maybe not for me though.
Our trip was fun at first. Hand in hand and playful nights was all I knew. I was fine. I left my friends on the main road; they had my flashlight. The nights brought more fun for us. Best friends and lovers was what we were and I couldn't be in a more blissful state of MIND.
"Wait here." he said. I replied with a smile and he grinned back. Touching lips, I waited for him. 'He'll be back,' I told myself, I trust him. We have something no one else does. I waited on the road of tiny pebbles... Then waited on the large rock... Then the grass.... Now the dirt. Still he didn't show.
Cold breathe and tired limbs. He'll be back, he'll be back. My hair became tangled in the wind, wet in the rain, and still i waited. Blistering heat and snow storms. Nothing. I can hear his voice somewhere he's happy, i can feel it. Come back Taylor, please.
With no flashlight and no friends I gathered myself an headed back down the road. Trembling. Shivering. Brigham is my savior. He found me lost; not on any trail at all. He didn't take my hand, he carried me back to my flashlight. 'What a fun adventure,' I dreamed. Delirious and having no senses.
I wonder where Taylor ended up. Taken by the weather I assume. Taken by the bears, I hope.
