Reunited

     "Hi Kid, it's been a long time, too long..." 

     I read and reread your email several times replaying our time together before your unplanned absence. My life without you has been boring and repetitive. Nothing excites me like being with you. I need you and agree to meet you on a bench at the park.

     When I arrive, you are already sitting on the bench just watching people come and go out of the bank across the street. You look comfortable, and good. I sit down next to you. Helplessly, I confess, "I've missed you. You look really good." 

     "Yeah," you reply with a smirk, "I've been working out. Missed you too." I smile and feel okay, as if we never had seven years apart. The adrenaline courses through my body just being near you. You lean over and whisper in my ear, "We're gonna rob that bank."
