Take Me Away to Memories and Dreams

I remember a summer from my teens, probably 16 or 17 or so. A bunch of us girls just lived to cruise around looking for guys. We hung at the pool, at the mall, anywhere that we could meet someone new. We tanned during the day and took hours to get ready for the night. Oh, to be young. That summer was a blast.

I remember a trip to Chicago with some girlfriends about 10 years ago. We pretty much did the same thing. We shopped, we dined, we coctailed, we clubbed. We talked to the waiters and bartenders. We had code names and key words to make our trip surreal. We took hours to get ready on those nights before going out. Our hotel suite had TWO bathrooms! We stayed out until 3 in the morning. We laughed so hard that we thought that we would never return home on the train to our families. That trip was a blast.

I remember many things, many times from my past that revolved around the opposite sex. I keep some of these memories inside my head.
I also write some of them down.

I enjoy the memory of dreams as well. I wake up and sneak down my thoughts from the night. I have one special dream...it plays over as if it is calling me.
-------------------------------------------
I am following a car, inside my own car, driving from out of the city, down a dirt road surrounded by cascading trees in full bloom. "HE" gets out, ( I really do not have an exact picture of what he looks like, but he has a soft smile and extending hands) after pulling into a farmhouse drive. Some scruffy dog greets him happily as he saunters up to my unopened door. With radio playing, as usual, (I would give anything to recall the song that mixes with this dream's background) my palm sweats small raindrops and clings to the slippery silver door handle.
I hesitate.
His eyes glimmer as he speaks.
"Are you up for this?"
Long Silence....
I Open the Door.
...I Awake

I guess at his point I am just a bored housewife in the suburbs looking for something to do.

TAKE ME AWAY!!!!!

Had a great day today...got over the slump, for now.
And am Riding the buzz here...Shame on me

"Take me away
Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away"
