ghosts of the past
i wish i could find the picture
the perfect day
the saddest day
a cabin 3 hours north of here
on the north shore
driving all day to find an empty hotel room
vacancy sign
we turn in
cabins on stilts
on lake superior
only rented for a week at a time
we lucked out
got one for a night
no tv
radio
just windows
and a wraparound deck
with my boyfriend
his ex girlfriend
and his brother
walking on the beach
late summer
glowing in my own happiness
deep down knowing the end was near
taking deep breaths
late at night
boys go fishing
me and the ex talking for hours and hours
working out the hurt
8 years of dirty looks
we slept alone
while they cranked themselves out
early morning
sitting on the deck
deep in thought
the families of the sailors
of ships gone down
their feelings overwhelming me
i imagined sitting on the deck of my house
waiting for my sailor
my love
my life
north star overhead
guiding him to me
after 8 years
i knew i didnt feel that way
about the man i was with
i knew it was the end
the most wonderful day
the start of my new life
my secret cabin
castle danger,mn
thank you for finding me

i like this so much.
thanks, lil red.
sweet dreams.
Really dreamy words, lilred. :)
It's funny how memories work, they can be or mean whatever you want them to but it doesn't make them accurate. I suppose the important part is that in that memory you found the strength you needed when you needed it, or something. Because of that, I take no offense, but realize....I was there to, not only that weekend but many others that followed.
