Memories...

After unpacking my things in my dorm room, I decided to go for a walk to clear my sinuses and head. Somehow, I ended up on that gravel path we walked together last spring for that geology lab extra credit assignment. Although I felt really dumb that I lead you the wrong way, I was secretly glad that it was just us two walking there together.

I walked on the side you walked on, and I kept thinking back to that day... I wonder, what would it have been like if you were on my side as I walked? I also wondered what it would have been like if we were walking that path together holding hands, talking or just staying silent. I wondered a lot of things on that long stretch.

I got the the end and found the little wooden outstretch onto Lake Matoaka with the bench. It was eerie and foggy and a little cold, but I stood there reliving that bright(er) day. I remembered you skipped a couple of rocks, and you were joking about me getting into the water... I laughed you off and probably raised my voice at you in protest like I usually did.

I tried to skip a couple of rocks like you, perhaps to feel as if you really were there with me, but, well, it didn't quite work. At all. I just laughed it off and turned and left.
