I asked her, as we both stared at the ceiling and the light passing across it, "How do you think you found me?" She slid her hand into mine and our fingers entwined. She said, "This world ain't strong enough to keep us from each other." She rolled over to me. She put her leg between mine and laid her breasts on my chest. She kissed me. I could feel her heart beat in time to mine. She looked down deep into my eyes and with utmost seriousness whispered, "I know you, from a previous incarnation."

 
I was washing her beautiful hair in the old tub with claw feet upstairs. Her body stretched out in the water. Candle lights. Painted nails. Eyes closed. Quiet. I thought about our time together. The thrift store fashions shows she put on for me. Her laugh when twirling in the dress. Chasing me with the water hose when we washed her truck. Dancing in the rain. Laying on her roof at night with quilts to see the shooting stars. Why, when I'm so happy do I have to wonder, "How long can it possibly last?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtkmRiA5UOE
 
We put her futon in the bed of her old pickup truck and spread it out. We pulled up to the Tiki Drive In Movie Theatre, but the Cult Classics Festival was sold out. "Don't worry, baby. I have a better idea anyway," she said. She drove me high up a mountain on a dusty road and parked on a slope overlooking a lake far below. The sun was setting and the sky was pink. "How do you know about this place?" She grabbed the blankets and climbed up in the truck bed. "All the kids used to come up here and make out," she said pulling off her cowboy boots. "Did you?" I asked stepping over the tailgate. "No way! I'm a good girl." We made love under the stars on the futon in the truck bed and as soon as she came she said with a laugh, "I'm so glad I remembered to use the parking break!"
