I have a thing where songs remind me of certain moments or people in my life.  I had a dream the other day where I saw an old high school friend who was very dear to me.  In the dream, we ran into each other and during that moment I felt this sudden peace.  It was a peace and comfort that I’ve only felt with very few people.  In the dream, we did not do much. We didn’t even talk much, but her presence made me calm.  I woke up and all day I’ve been thinking about it.  Even though we no longer talk or spend time with one another, the memories we made together when I was in high school still holds a spot in my heart.  I guess it doesn’t bother me too much that we no longer keep in touch because I have my memories to remind me of that feeling of peace and comfort I had around this friend, and these memories is something no one can take away from me.

Favorite memory of her:  It was my last day of sophomore year in high school and some friends were talking about how sad they were that the seniors were leaving.  My friend was a senior at that time but I wasn’t that sad.  As people continued to talk about it, it got to me.  The bell rang and I ran into the parking lot looking for her car.  She had a Honda and there was a billion of them so I didn’t know which one was hers.  I just stood in the middle of the parking lot and I started to cry.  Another friend saw me and asked me what happened.  I said that I was crying because I didn’t get to say good-bye.  I turned around and there she was walking towards her car.  I ran to her and hugged her.  My words to her, “I don’t want you to leave.”  

I guess she never really left huh?
