I ' d just be stonding In Poe daydreaming and realize Laurie hod left olreody, ond I ' d bolt ond be running, running to meet her. But you know I never could sleep at Laurie ' s. I ' d olwoys go there In the afternoon but I never could stay. It wasn ' t mine, It was hers and I couldn ' t belong ot someone else ' s. I wanted a place, Q life, a time of my own. Oh. we ' d make love and then fall asleep holding each other, but ot one or two I ' d awoken and just lie there surrounded by her ond then just creep owoy. I never stayed over, but sometimes In the morning I ' d return ond crowl bock In bed with her. If It was spring, there would be Q breeze ploying through the curtains, moybe a squirrel on the limb right outside the window and two old bird dogs In the yard below seorching for the doves they could just barely hear and no longer see. And In the mornings, I ' d belong, if for just o little while. I miss her. Soro. and I miss the places that I ' m no longer o port of. Once ogoln. seorching and waiting. 17
