A special journey

         It surprises me how a complete stranger can turn into someone you would trust your life with. Her heart starts racing as she throws her leg over the motorcycle and she holds on to his almost non-existent waist. He turns back and tells her to hold on tight. She moves in closer and takes a deep breath as he kicks them into motion. The wind blows in their face and they are off. As they make their way she starts thinking of the very first time she met him, she was so shy and slightly afraid. She didn’t know what to expect and had no idea that almost four years into the future she would be sitting with him on a motorcycle with the summer sun beating down on them. He periodically glances back at her to make sure she is okay, and every time he does so her heart feels warmer and she starts to smile. Despite her fears she feels safe around him and knowing that he cares makes her feel even safer. When their journey comes to an end her face falls to a frown and she wishes he didn’t have to leave, alas they must bid farewell till next time. He takes her in a warm embrace and she can smell his scent on his skin, she lingers there for a moment until she realizes she has to let go. She wants to hold onto him forever, he is the one who has been there for her through all that has gone wrong. He has helped pick up the pieces and made her smile through her tears.  Every time she has to say goodbye her stomach feels uneasy, she never wants him out of her sight lest something happens to him. He slowly rides away and she slumps back into her dull monotonous life, waiting for the next time he’ll bring some light into her life.
