-Going To California Pt. 1
Prologue-
Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To California with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that they're all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey, wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
as the children of the sun began to awake.
Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.
To find a queen without a king,
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

It has now been six months since the woman I love left for the Air Force. I might also add that it has been a depressing six months. I never told her how I felt about her, but I think she not only knew, but loved me as well.
We did not actually have any sort of "formal" relationship. Probably a good thing. We were able to keep our jobs that way. We worked in a small bookstore in South Carolina. She had been working there for two years, and as a manager for one and half of those years when I got hired. Company policy forbade dating other employees, but we did things together outside of work anyway. There were no problems with that becaue we kept it quite seceret.
Our little outings were usually planned when it was just the two of us there. Never supposed to have any less than 4 people in the store at all times, but she was good at guaranteeing our privacy.
