Midnight Man

Her.

John's pov

I ran my hands through my hair as I watched Amy walk off into the distance.

I stomped around and kicked some rocks, I soon realised this wasn't going to change the fact I lost the girl I think I loved.

I cursed at my self over and over, nothing mattered to me anymore.

Ive never felt this towards anyone, not Cynthia.

Not anyone.
I sat down on the side of the road, it was wet, it was cold it was dark.

I didn't care, all I cared about was her.
She's gone now.
Flashback
John's pov
I ran through the back yard with Pete, Pete's my best friend!
Mimi and uncle George were inside.
"Hey John?"
"Yeah?"
"Who do you like?"
I thought.
"Well I like Mimi and uncle ge-"
"No no no like a girl at school."
I didn't know how to answer, I'm only 10.
"Uh I don't know...."
-
Pete left an hour ago, I walked inside.
George was reading the paper and Mimi was reading.
"Hey George?"
He looked up from the paper.
"Yes son?"
I pulled out a chair next to him.
"How did you Know you liked Mimi?"
I watched intently has he put the paper down.
"Uh well-i don't like her. I love her."
I was intrigued by this new word... 'love'
Sure I've heard of it, but I don't think anyones ever loved me.
"How do you know?"
"Well that's a hard question John, you see you'll know when you. I mean Mimi was a tough nut to crack. But I think you can give any girl the Lennon charm and the birds will come falling at your feet!"
I laughed slightly.

I'll know when I know.
Flashback over

My heart ached for uncle George, he really gave me much advice.

And I do know,
I know I love her. I feel it.

I know it!
I ran back inside.
I'll sleep it off.

I went to bed, I couldn't help but let some years slip.

I had just realised, I haven't cried over a girl.
Apart from me mum of course.

I went to bed that night.
Happy that I knew I loved her.
Sad because I fucked everything up.
