Confessions 5

Confessions 5
I just wanted to stop and talk to you for a little while. It seems like it has been forever since we talked. How long has it been since we last talked?
You don’t respond.
I think it has been like three or four years since we last talked. We used to have so much fun together. I remember that one time we drove up to your parents’ cabin in the woods and we got drunk and swam naked in the river. Remember when we went to Chicago and stayed in that fancy hotel? Do you remember that?
No response.
Remember that valentine’s day when I bought you a dozen roses and gave them to you and you cussed me out for spending so much money? Remember when we drove to Dubuque and we held hands in the car all the way to Dubuque? I remember waiting for you in the waiting room. It seemed like it took forever for you to get out of recovery. I was really worried that you wouldn’t make it. I told god that I would change my ways that I would stop being irresponsible and work harder and become a regular Joe. Remember when we used to go to Godfather’s Pizza and play Miss Pac Man and eat Canadian bacon pizza? Remember I got a job at screen printing place that printed company names on t-shirts and jackets? Remember that we had to park in the woods under tall trees when we kissed because you didn’t want God to see you? Remember when I went off to college and you begged me not to go because you thought we would grow apart and forget each other?

You ask, “Who are you?”
