Tonight is the Night )))
Hey guys!
It's a regular evening out here. And as such, it brings memories... I think I might have said this before, but it's worth repeating: if I was a ghost, I would hunt the same place for centuries... I can't let go. It is all too tempting to relieve the past experience, to re-taste the sensations (especially the smell and the visual), to re-feel the emotions... Tonight its Khmelnitsky. It's about walking our town's hidden roads to smoke a cigarette unseen. It's about sharing the most important story of your life with a friend - a new story every day... It's about passing a piece of ice like a ball with a classmate. It's about stepping off a balcony on a ninth floor.....onto another balcony, of course. It's also about that split of a second when a thought "what if" storms through your mind while your foot is in the air between the two balconies. It's about fooling with a friend, pretending to be drunk, thinking that we are not really drunk, when, in fact, we are drunk... It's about running into your teacher on the school steps when you are just about to run away from their class... and not stopping, not coming back for class... and not getting in trouble for it, too! It's about being on duty in a cafeteria or rehearsing for a school play. It's about first best friend. It's about first love. It's about first... everything, almost everything.
I might have reinvented myself a million times since, but tonight I've sat with you in a street cafe; I've walked with you into a computer shop; I've watched a train pass by with you by my side...
I miss you. Tonight and always.
