I lied.<\/p>\n<p>I had found her sitting outside my apartment crying, there&#8217;s something about teared makeup running down a pretty face that can&#8217;t keep me away. She was in that little skirt she wore when we played &#8216;Rollercoaster&#8217;, only I could tell there was going to be no amusement to the ride tonight.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to light a cigarette, she&#8217;d chastise me for smoking. I&#8217;d laugh, and she&#8217;d take one out my pack and light it, just to let it sit between her fingers and burn.<\/p>\n<p>The emotional girls are a much better ride, they need the escape, they want to scream and let all their pains out. I will never get involved with another vegetarian, it has everything to do with their reservations for meat.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s sex, just to get a quick one off. Then there&#8217;s love. That damn word pulls more fools into trouble than drugs and guns combined. Angela could make love. Anyone with that much built-up emotion had to be hiding something, I was convinced she was hiding teeth somewhere down there.<\/p>\n<p>Bayes County was another 3 hours from the border, I hate this goddamn state. I had to stop for coffee, sugar, something to keep me awake. Walking back to the car, she was gone.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp mceIEcenter\">\n<dl id=\"attachment_111\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 505px;\">\n<dt class=\"wp-caption-dt\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thedailyleaf.su\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/car.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-111\" title=\"Dash\" src=\"http:\/\/thedailyleaf.su\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/car.jpg\" alt=\"Dash\" width=\"495\" height=\"228\"><\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<p>The drive home was masked behind the breath of Schnapps and painkillers, cool musings from the stereo and tears on the road.<\/p>\n<p>I sat on my porch drinking beers and playing the 12-string.
