1983 Downtown You Paid My Check

53nd near Wabash, Berwyn IL

Description

My friend and I went downtown to eat and ditch. He went to get the car and never came back. I was a frightened 15 year old white kid (he was African American) and you noticed the waitress giving me the check and waiting until I paid. You paid the check and knew what was happening. You were a beautiful black 16 year old. We went to Hyde Park to pay you back. We made out for a little while and my friend Alek drove us to drop you on 53rd and State (maybe Wabash?) at your grandmothers house. I called you only once, I think you called me once. (at that time I was heart broken because I didn't know what to do!) I regret today that I never became your close friend. I think you were so intuitive, and incredible, and smart, and a great kisser. You new the trouble I was in and intuited how to help. Even after I tried to refuse you knew what to do. Love to catch up now we're grown up. I wish you a Merry Christmas and happy holidays, to you and yours. Much love. Cheers, R.
