The early bird - Natalie

I woke up at 6 a.m. and headed out to the lake with my kayak. The sun was peeking over the hills, making the lake glisten. I dropped my kayak in, pushed it out a few feet and hopped in. If anything was going to take my mind off HIM, then it would be this; a quiet paddle across the lake, but maybe I should’ve done something else because I have memories here, but they’re more like dreams now. When he asked me to marry him, it was so sudden. But maybe I should’ve said yes, not I need time.
