Somewhere along the line, I went out with some friends. There, I met a girl. I'm still not sure of her name, only of who she reminded me of.
Time went by, and we became pretty close friends. We'd sit and play guitar in her van, we'd watch Home Movies, we'd listen to the B-52s. There was never anyone like her before.
One day, in her van, I noticed one of her guitars attached to the ceiling. As I reached up, I had noticed she wasn't there anymore. That moment is when I realized how much she meant to me. I still didn't know her name; only who she reminded me of.
I heard through some people that she was moving across the world. In a last effort, I drove out to find the van. As I stepped out of the car and into the rain, i was greeted with "Are you Cameron? I'm supposed to tell you that she's at the baseball field." I ran faster than I ever thought possible to find her in the stands watching a game that didn't exist. I stumbled up to her, and grabbed her in my arms. We just stood there, embraced, for hours. The first and last thing she ever said to me was "I must go." With that, I was alone.
She left her mark on me. I may not ever be the same person I was before I met her. And I can't even tell you her name. Thoughts of her still remind me. It's like it was all a dream. And I honestly can't tell you that it happened.
You can't take her away from me.
