Today is a day that has to be written.
I’ll always remember it,
I had woken up to a smell of breakfast my boyfriend had cooked for me,
Of course he told me to keep this part out of the story.
I didn’t believe he would cook for me, seeing as it being the first time he said he would.
My boyfriend and I were spending the day together,
It was a warm day, nice and sunny; nothing could go wrong.
We were on our way to my favorite spot near the river,
Soon he noticed the gas gauge on empty.
We seemed to be running on the little gas that was left or maybe even air.
We struggled to find a gas station, when finally we came upon one.
15 dollars is what we got in gas, now all we had to do was pump the gas.
"What key is it?" that question had me confused at first but then I snapped.
My car has a lock on the gas tank and I didn't have the keys with me.
We laughed and asked for a refund the next thing was to go back home on air.
We didn’t even reach half way out of town before the car stopped in the Downtown Durango Neighborhood.
I then called my mom and she then gave us a list of things to do.
1. Walk to Circle K and lock the car doors.
2. Buy a gas container and fill it with a gallon of gas.
3. Walk to the car or wait at Circle K.
Two blocks to walk to the Circle K we get there and the gas can almost costs about 12 dollars, with the five dollars left; we get five dollars’ worth of gas.
Before he started filling it up, I told him to put it on the ground then fill.
With him holding it in his hand, gasoline splatters on him and his clothes and only fills up on two dollars.
"This isn't my day, I should have stayed in bed" is what he said.
Jokingly I told him he should have stayed home, but sweet as he is he always replied:
"But I’m happy because I’m with you."
We make it to the car and wait for my mom to save us; she had brought us the key to unlock the gas lock.
Sadly I then forget the road to baker so instead he then drives me to his getaway where he goes to be alone.
When we get there it's quiet and beautiful there’s little animals, trees, mountains, streams, and a river.
"This is a place where I come to think about things, now this is our place"
I was happy I was able to share a special place with him and call it ours.
Wal*Mart, Cheese Itz, fruit roll ups, and laundry soap was our shopping list.
Nice way to end our day in Durango.
Home was both rewarding and sad: rewarding= sharing half a cheese cake, sad= he left early at six o'clock.
With the day we experienced we were able to squeeze in a promise.
We promised life goals and a promise that could possibly take place in three weeks. Now the wait begins.
May 27, 2009 was a day that wanted to be written and now it has, it gave me and my boyfriend our special place in this world, state, town.
