That Car Ride

Was the closest I had ever felt to you. I remember the night before, what our conversation was like because it was the first time I had ever had hopes that someone like you would open up to me. You offered me the chance to get to know you and help you by suggesting that we could keep each other accountable. I was so glad you asked and of course, I agreed.

Then when we were in your car driving somewhere (I do not remember where or why you had your car). I remember it being a little awkward for me as I didn't know how to bring it up. But I was glad that I did. I asked you about what you read and what it meant to you. You told me and then asked about what I read and got from it. And then you admitted something to me. I don't know what it was that you did, but I was glad that you could tell me. You told me you had done something bad and that you were really regretting it. I didn't push you to tell me more because I thought that this already took a lot of effort to say and maybe if I poked then you would just shrink away.

I still miss those times where we hung out even though it may not have been full of deep conversation. Sometimes, you can feel close to a person just by being in their company.



Proverbs 7 talks about guarding the teachings (the proverbs) just like how your body guards your pupils. It also illustrates how a prostitute seduces a young man, luring him into be with her while we husband is away. Then it ends, saying that young man who wasn't careful was oblivious that she was leading him "down to the chambers of death".
