Is it weird?

Am I just crazy?

As my father drives the truck down that road...

That road that I can't go down without thinking about you.

I sit in the passenger seat and stare out the window as we drive past the local "tourist trap". I swear I can see myself standing there, watching as your car drives away, I know it's the last time I'm gonna see you for a very long time.

I remeber just before that, when I hid behind you to hide from my grandma because I was sneaking out of the house to see you. I still remember that look on your face. I can see us walking down that road, smiling because after all the waiting... We finally got to see each other. I can't even walk into the damn McDonalds without seeing you sitting there by yourself, waiting for your mom to come pick you up. (I know you hate that place.)

I feel a familiar ache when I see all these places and know that your not here. Although I swear I picture us there, reliving these moments, I know that we do not know what the future has in store for us. It has been almost 10 months and I still can't go to those places without feeling nostalgic. I might just be crazy, but I do know one thing... I love you. I know your not here now, but I thought I would just remind you that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I will wait to see you again. Even though I know it will result in more places I can't go without seeing you there and realizing you aren't here, I know it will all be worth it.
