Night of the James Taylor Concert during Freshman Year at College

My friend most beautiful sat shoulder to shoulder with me after the lights went low and the show began. We took in ballad after ballad the tender voice hour after hour and a spell was cast. The song of Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight spoke to me— I could almost cry. I glanced at her and she looked straight ahead. This was the night I wanted for months although we had some casual dates o the times when I pleaded for more but tonight she was so tender when I put my arm around her shoulder. I knew the night was good for her when we stepped out the elevator onto her dormitory floor and the music resonated in my mind. The taste of her kiss was so sweet on that special night. She must have known it was our last.

Mike, tender and soft-spoken with a surprise ending! What a song that was "Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" the tell-tale sign. Great read!__Anaya
