I went to your wedding shower yesterday.
On the way home last night a cold front crossed sultry summer skies of Alabama. The temperature dropped and I felt the familiar urge to roll the windows down and drive a little slower.
So I did.
It was the first glimpse of fall.
Cool air seeping through the windows infiltrating my car and my soul. The chilled breeze leaving goose bumps on my skin and stirring my soul.
It always makes me think of you.
I don't remember what we talked about that autumn night or even the music we listened to.
I don't remember the roads we traveled or if I laughed or cried (even though it is possible I did both).
What I do remember is the way you made me feel. Safe. Accepted.
I suspect I'll always remember you when summer turns to fall.
I wonder if I've ever said thank you for the way you make me feel.
Thank you for being my friend.
Thank you for loving me.
