angelakA message to Todd:
6 years ago you left my plane of existance.
I haven't thought of you in a while.
I ran across a log that reminded me of you.
I miss you.
Your voice was musical and you really knew how to sing.
I could sit and listen for hours.
Memories for the moment:
We sat by the windmill and you told me your "life story."
We were alone. It was incredibly romantic in a completely innocent way.
We talked about your brother. We made fun of him like people do to their siblings. We talked about how immature your twin was. We talked about how his priorities differed from yours.
What we didn't realize was that your soul was older.
We talked about your poetry - no one had talked to me about poetry until then. Not a boy - anyway.
And poetry is and was one of my favorite things.
We talked about your teachers, and how they thought you were depressed -
You were just artistic.
My favorite moments?
People called you Mr. Green, and then they began calling me "Mrs. Green."
It elated me.
You were always smiling.
Once, you sang me "Luck be a lady."
Once, you did a monologue for a bunch of us. I was captivated. Astonished at how real it was. You took me away from the park and into the character.
The skits. The skits you and Colin pulled off together were so natural and great. Those kids loved it. I loved it. Singing songs with you in the goofy ways we did for the kids, is a feeling I won't forget.
I knew you an incredibly short period of time.
The last time I saw you, I refused to leave your side. We picked up garbage together.
What an amazing thing to be stubborn about. I wanted to talk to you as we cleaned up the site grounds.
I wanted to hear you sing, and hear you sing, and hear you sing.
And now I am so glad I did.
And the goodbye was hasty.
I thought then - how it was going to be a long year without you.
It was worse than that.
It's been a long 7 years without you - honey.
You had gorgeous green eyes and wonderful long, blonde hair.
Simply beautiful. In so many ways.
You were innocent.
I wonder what Kyle is doing?
I never knew Kyle.
I was infatuated with you.
I wanted to ask you out.
I didn't know how.
You gave me your number and I memorized it immediately.
It was a schoolgirl crush.
We talked a couple of times on the phone.
It was innocent. And yet every time I called, my heart raced and I was slightly terrified I'd sound stupid.
Now I wish I had called more.
You were 15.
You were an actor. Not just a wanna-be; you were going to be famous. Everyone knew that.
I'll never forget you.
Ever.

Date: 2006-04-05 06:30 pm (UTC)Kyle became one of my best friends. He is now in the Navy, and the last I knew he was stationed in Bremerton. I haven't heard from him in a while, but I see him from time to time.

Amazing, and now I know what Kyle is doing. Thanks very much for the update.
I just didn't know any of my friends' list knew him. Good kid - that one was.
I'm sure his bro is awesome too. We just never talked much. I doubt if you mentioned my name he'd have the slightest clue who I was ;)
