Something not the same

I woke up at 11:00 o'clock on sunday. I went down stairs and grabbed some breakfast. I threw on some skinny jeans and a sweatshirt. I put my fishing stuff together and then sat on the couch watching tv until 12:30. I got my stuff and hopped into my truck and drove towards town. I passed the little diner on the corner and grabbed a deli sandwich and a peach nehi. (which is defiantly the best soda ever and I suggest getting one) I ate my turkey and cheese sub as I drove to the lake. I pulled in and went over to the lake to fish because I was 10 minutes early. I caught a large mouth bass on the first cast. I threw him back, I never really kept them unless my dad was with me because he was the one who cleaned them. I knew how I just didn't like to do it. I fished a bit longer until Matt pulled up. He hopped out of his red ford ranger and opened the tail gate, pulling out his pole. He walked around the lake and stood with me. We fished a while but I was distracted. I wondered when he was going to tell me what he had to say. We stood in silence for a while then he let out a big breath.
"I guess you want me to tell you what I was going to say." He said.
"Well yeah." I said smiling. "I was wondering if you forgot."
"Well Lacy, um, well what I am trying to say is. Oh just screw it." Before I knew what he was trying to tell me he grabbed my face in his hands and kissed me. He pulled away and looked at me. I just looked at him and we stood there for a second. Everything was going in slow motion, but my mind was reeling like the line in my fishing pole. I grabbed his hand and stood on my tip toes and kissed him on the lips.
"Is that what you were going to tell me?" I asked
"Yeah." He said smiling at me. He grabbed my hand and we walked back to the truck. We sat on the tail gate and talked about music and people and love and how we hated the haters. I thought I was in love before but that one kiss changed it all. From then on I was so in love I never went back. I always wondered if the only reason he loved me was because he was desperate or if he was just looking to get past me. But I always knew that in the back of my mind we were different from those short term relationships, we were the real ones, we were the people who would never lose love the ones who knew what real love was. I knew then. I never needed to know anymore. All I wanted was him.
