Tale of Two Lovers and the Secret World (Story)

The Tale of Two Lovers and the Secret World I was walking through the woods with my love one day as he was recolecting about all the fun and happy adventures that he had with his friends in the exact woodland area that we were wondering through. He talked in such detail that it made me feel as though I was with him during his youth, even though we have two years over a decade between us. As he went on with this happy dazed look across his face holding my hand with a firm but gentle grip, he explained to me as we walked along pointing out things that he knew about from the adventures he had, as if he were back in his days and I was a friend and he was trying to fill me in so I could be part of the group of his friends. He was telling me how before these woods were where his friends and he hung-out the land and woodland area for miles and miles was called Nike a huge missle base. As we came up to where the trees and srubs thined out you could see this huge area that spread out acrossed the horrizon, that was open and pathed with cement that was clearly not kept up for there were trees and weeds growing through the cracks of the broken cement. We vered off the path we were on and crossed through this ditch to get over to the cemented area; it was like crossing over to a different land. The energy was different from the path we were on, the air was clear and crisp with a reenergizing, inspiring,quality to it. Hand in hand we strolled down the trail, while Joe was telling me about different places where different things happened, during weekend parties like where they kept their coolers and sat around talking, drinking and just having a good time. He also kept pointing out different things that aluded to area being an old missle base. Like big covered man holes, odd and random pipes sticking out of the ground, and out of place patches of roughly layed cement; as to cover something up. Then Joe told me how there use to be water pumps that they use to use to drink from, as he pointed over in the distance towards a big dirt mound saying, “There was one over there,” so we kept on walking this time cutting diagonally across the open plain in the direction that he pointed in. As we reached the bottom of the dirt mound that was more like a packed down hill from all the tire markes that raced all over the mound, we started to climb,struggling a little with the the combination of the steepness and the loose dirt under our feet. We finally got to the top and we were clearly looking at a race track for dirt bikes and four wheelers. Our gazed opened to see the open area with the woods surounding the circumfrance as to keep this world and it’s events contained from the outside world. We both turned to each other in a warm embraces with the setting sun shining upon us and before us. As our brace became prolonged, I felt energy from all around us start flowing through his body and mine; like we were a circit and our power sources was the world around us. I wished that that feeling, at that momment would never end,but it did. The energy that was flowing in that spiritually, magikal place beconed us to move along. We started down the dirt hill trying to fight the gravitational pull, when I noticed we had a small audience, a man and his two dogs, that just wittness a truly special momment that my love and I shared. At that momment I had a thought come drifting through my mind about the man and his two dogs and what they just observed. The thought of two stories, two lifes crossing pass even though it was just for a few minuets, or even if he kept watching as we went on our way. Gave me a feeling on how small the world was and how many times people’s lives pass and what kind of affect it might or might not have on the other person’s life. While I was thinking about all these things we walked in silents while still holding hands; as not to brake the connection from the warm imbrace a moment earlier, when all all of the sudden he let go and exclaimed, “There it is!!” as he rushed off to the left off into a patch of cement that was invaded by grass and some starting of trees to an old and broken down water pump. When he reached the water pumb he looked at me with his soft brown eyes with so much excitment and happiness for finding this water pump from his past. His excitement from spending the day with me, exsploring a special place from his past,reminded me of a youthful child just enjoying all that life has to offer and relishing in the glory of the day. That child that I saw in him reflected to me the child I use to be and that is still hiding within, that only he has been able to get to come out and play in the rising sun of the rest of my life We journeyed on into the setting sun to find our way back through the woods to get back to the car. As he menevered us down diffrent trails turning us left and right, I was pretty much lost. But with full trust in him it was no time at all before we were back at the car, when he turned me around holding me close to him looking in the same direction at the very end of the sunset as he wispered into my ear “ I love you hon.” At that momment I was completely melted into him just like the setting sun melted into the distance world.
