I had a 24 hour leave one time when I was working in the southern Mexico (working in Mexico City sucks). I took a flight all the way to Tijuana just to be with my girl for an hour at the airport.
I barely made it back. But it was worth it. To this day she still remembers that.
She’s married now with kids. She married one of my closes friends’ actually. I’m happy for them. I took the hard road, and I have never regretted it. But still, I remember that hour at the airport (xxx)

thats the kinda stuff i'm looking for! i know i can't be the only one haha
girl i'd known for years, ran into her saturday may 21st, first weekend of being 21. run into her at the bar and boom. we make eye contact from across the floor and sparks flew like i've never seen em before. it was electric. i ignored it; i'd been hurt pretty bad 9 months before and being recently of age wasn't looking for much of anything but a drink.
but before the night's through, the guy who'd been buying her drinks and dancing with her all night comes up and taps me on the shoulder and tells me that a beautiful woman wants to dance with me. i turn around and leaning against the speaker is my freshman RA; the girl i'd connected with earlier that night. it'd always been platonic and i planned to keep it that way. but we dance the night's last dance, and she gives me her number so as to have breakfast for old times sake and catch up.
breakfast comes sunday morning, and i take her to a small diner in town; my treat. we talk and she's just all smiles and giggles, but being still bitter from the last time i ignore it. i shoot her a text afterwards saying it was nice catching up and she makes some flattering remarks and its finally too obvious and i simply can't ignore it any longer. i was furious with myself that i couldn't stop thinking about this girl. but think i did, and i ask her what she's doing friday.
well monday rolls around, we've been exchanging messages and my mind hasn't rested. so i ask if she's available to talk in person. and so she comes over and we talk about these feelings we're having and the fact that in a month she leaves for out of state internships until thanksgiving. but we jump in head first anyways.
what would have been our first date that friday, ends up being our fifth and i ask her to be with me, regardless of the fact she's leaving. i tell her i'll wait. i meet alot of people, and they might be here while she's there; but she's got something they don't.
and so goes one of the fastest, most passionate months i've seen. 30 days felt like 3 years. it seemed like i'd known her forever. and then sunday june 26th rolls in and she dumps me on my ass. she takes her things home from my apartment and i grab my things from hers the next day. but come tuesday, i run into her at the beach and we talk casually. very bitter sweet. it was so nice to see her, even though it hurt so badly
wednesday rolls in and i ask her if she'd like to see a movie. she takes forever to get back to me but i try to be patient. it is after all the day before she leaves the state and i just wanna see her before she goes. she says she would like to see a late movie. but ends up skipping, and i see the movie alone. after the movie i call her in case she's still down town with her friends, but no answer. i go to the bar my friend works at, their last day of business and have a few and ponder.
i'd been contemplating something that would likely be a bad idea but near as i figured, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. so i decide to stop by her place come last call. 2 am rolls up and long story short [too late] the romeo and juliet scene doesn't play out like it does in literature.
apparently throwing pieces of mulch at her window in the middle of the night isn't as romantic as i thought it would be. she never did come to the window or talk to me; just lay there pretending to sleep and tells me the next day that she'd been terrified and almost called the cops [sigh] ya win some ya lose some. at least i tried.
) They found it two weeks later up in Oregon, completely stripped, and of course the tools were gone.
