“I Gotcha”
Prompt / Challenge #7 —Refresh the Soul
What is your favorite song? Tell us why. Share some of the lyrics that mean something to you.
This is actually a very easy question for me to answer. Thank you, Nancy Blackman, for your Day #7 Challenge of “What is your favorite song?”
This was a fun challenge for me to answer. It was about 1972, and I was 14 years old. I was at church on a Wednesday night when my 15-year-old girlfriend took me outside in a remote back area of the church. I was sort of wondering why we were behind the church, and then my question was answered.
It was at this moment I received my first kiss. I was absolutely numb. I could not tell you my own name at that moment. Then she kissed me again. Ok, I am guessing we were boyfriend/ girlfriend for sure at this point.
She told me she had to go and for me to call her. She quickly left and got in the car with her parents, waving at me out of her station wagon's back window. My sister was looking for me, as she would drive me home. She asked if I was ok? You look like you saw a ghost. No sister, I’m good, not a ghost, I’m good.
