I Just Can'T Live Without You My Honey-Red's

From the first moment I saw you I fell in love. I knew that I had to have you, and I would do what ever it took to make you mine. You were such a beaming beauty and you made the ground shake under my feet. We spent many of happy times together since that day when I made you mine. Then came that dreadful night when I returned home from a fishing trip to find you gone. What I felt all along had suddenly come true; I just couldn’t go on living with out you. Then I saw the letter and it explained what happened and where you could be found. I went by the next day hoping to sneak a peek at you, but to no avail. I could have gone over there just to see you, but that wouldn’t do. I had to straighten something’s out in my immature, selfish life first. So, I went back home, and over the course of the next few days, I got rid of my toys. The motorcycle, the ATV, the pool table, the Xbox 360, and even the Kegerator went. Now, I was ready to make a new start, and take you back home again. I knocked up on the door, and Pops let me in. I said “I’m here for my red beauty.” When I laid eyes on you it was love at first sight all over again. I brought you a present and opened it up; placing a drop behind each head rest. I made you a solemn promise that day “I’ll never let anyone shift your gears again!” I slapped three grand in Pops hand, and we rolled out like a cool breeze on a hot summer’s night. Me and my honey-red Corvette. My entry in Drake Eszes's contest "I just can't live without you" 3.5.11 Ref; Pops Repo LLC A fictional tale...beginning to end

Edwin, you really hit me hard with this piece. I, too, have a massive passion for cars. The sacrifice we're willing to make really knows no bounds, eh? I fully know about this experience more than I care to...excellent job sir!

Excellent. My car of choice as well. Thank u for the compliment on " My Dismal Reality". At least that's how I took it. First Impression- you have a gifted and insightful mind. I hadn't thought of it as greater awareness. I think u give me more credit than I deserve. Self-loathing is earned in my case. If u wish to talk further: jvmmmalott@yahoo.com It amazes me that the right path can be so clear, yet I chose what leads to ruin. It must be a form of insanity. more likely stupidity

My last boyfriend was more in love with his Mustang than he was with me. Careful, Edwin, you're making me think all men are alike (but I know that's not true). Best wishes in Drake's contest! Love, Carolyn
