Small Town Girls

I'm from the small town with a 35 mph zone yo catch speeders. I know, my dad is the police chief, with two, 2, deputies. Except the state now takes the fines, so stopping someone going 37 is no longer fun.

Our school managed to field a football team five years ago. Oh, and a new stop sign is authorized for the subdivision. Our town has agricultural roots, but now if has an industrial park too. Oh, I almost forgot, I was on the cheer team.

Now to Friday nights. You and 'the boy who brung you' drove out to the old dirt road to listen to music on the car stereo. Sometimes a girl chose good and the boy played with himself. Other times a girl chose poorly and nine months later she proved she was wife material.

The moon was waning, the wind was soft and warm, the radio was playing 'her' song, and she declared her love for me. We weren't out on the old dirt road, we were in my driveway after church supper. I said 'I love you too, you know I do'. But,

That night I knew that I wasn't going to prove I was wife material nine months later. Neither was she. That night I knew I was going to move to the city, there was no room for me. That night I sat back and let her kiss me and put a hand on my boob.

I moved, went away to college, fell in love with a girl from Altoona, got knocked up, got married, and moved back home with my doctor husband and two kids. My boys are in little league, they are friends with my first love's kids. We are small town girls living in small town USA.

Sometimes when the waning moon and the fireflies are out in the soft warm breeze at the church supper I hear 'I love you, I always will', and with hands folded I answer her 'I love you too, you know I do'.
