I Don't Know What Kind of Tears They Were
Happy or Sad tears? I'm not sure. My mom threw the camera in my hands and said for me to be the back-up photographer. I was just getting into my duties when I walked out the front door and saw a familiar blue SUV parked across the street and a STRAPPING young lad we all know as Dane was 1/2 way across the street. My eyes watered for a split-second and then dissapeared as a smile and "HEY!" escaped my lips. I hadn't seen him for a couple of months. As we gave each other a "side-hug" I realized the time apart was WAY too long. I miss that kid.
It was really comforting to be able to sit next to him and laugh and smile and talk about old, yet good, times and soon-to-be times. The time really was short and his family had to leave so soon. Ya know, I can't quite put into words to tell you why he means so much to me, but he does. Even if I could, I don't think I'd want to explain it. Anyway, when he said he had to go, I was deeply saddened. And I found myself not wanting to go. He was the only one there I really knew, and plus I hadn't seen him in so long. Anyway, as we said goodbyes and he walked out the door I felt tears coming. As soon as the door shut I ran to my room. I stayed there for a little while, not wanting people to see my tears.
Once I got myself together, I started hiding behind the camera, not wanting people to see my red eyes. I already missed him. It was insane. Anyway, my mom was the first to say "What's wrong? Were you crying???" and that just had me crying again... HARD! Pres. Olson put his arm around me tight and just hugged me... assuming it was b/c of April being married and all. I looked up and Drew and I met eyes and he mouthed 'You okay???' I nodded and quickly stowed away again until I knew I wouldn't cry anymore.
After that I went "CRAZY W/ The CAMERA" as my friend Ty described it. Anyway, that was my night. OH! And I got off Thursday so I can go to Graduation! YEAH BABAY!
Even though he will probably never read this: "Thanks Dane. I know it meant a lot to April that you and your parents came tonight. I miss you so much, and I promise I will make a better effort to see you more often. I Love You Bud!" -Staci
