Living My Life

Lover Boy

I was with my Father and sister going to the convenience store to get milk because it's cheaper there, they went in and I stayed in the truck. Then another truck pulled up in parking lot with a chubby older man with white hair and a long white beard. Along with a younger man about 25 he had scruff on his cheeks and had chocolate brown short hair. The older man headed for the convenience store while the younger man followed behind but turned around and gave me a look...

This younger man looked me straight in the eyes and gave me the most loving look. Almost as if I was the love of his life, like he knew me forever or like we we're soulmates or something. I politely smiled back and he followed the man into the store. The older man began to chat with my father as this encounter took place.

My father and sister came back to the truck and I asked my father who the older man was and he said his name. I then preceded to ask him if he knew the younger man and he had no clue who he was. I was a little confused and thought if I had never seen him in this small town after 14 years, then I would probably never see him again... Boy was I wrong.
