Remembering Big Red
(I'm feeling thoughtful)
Two years ago today...there are relationships that dim as time goes by, and then there is one leaving a lasting, permanent effect, that time doesn't dissipate...many mixed emotions always, hurt, disappointment, sorrow, flawed judgment...but I trusted you and felt completely protected, and today still, I am on the back and you are going too fast, and the corner is too sharp, and you skidded and fell hard, and I stayed on, so you fell on me and help took so long to arrive, all I wanted to do was close my eyes, but they wouldn't let me...I've never been as scared in my life, and I wish that day I had said no, you go ahead, I'll ride another day...but I was a part of Big Red and he was a part of me...the safest of all bikes because of who he was...afterward I never was the same...trust is so fragile, and I trusted to start and never once doubted...please don't let anyone ride again...the seat is cold and I'm not there...my fingers remember the buckles on the saddlebags and so much more...God Bless you and keep you safe forever more,
