It was
night, and the streets were ours. There was a different feeling in
the air then most other nights, and both of us could feel it. It was
one of those magical cliché nights where we felt that anything
could happen, and we could do anything. We held each other’s hand
and ran through the dimly lit town, laughing. The few people out
looked at us like we were crazy, like we were on drugs. We weren’t,
no kind of drug could make us feel this good. Once we stopped, legs
aching and out of breath, an older man approached us, asking what
time it was. You didn’t even glance at your watch and replied
simply, ‘Nine in the Afternoon!’ and you took my hand once more
and dragged me down the street giggling, as the man stared. But we
didn’t care. We were on a natural high, and neither of us had felt
this good ever before in our lives. We never wanted it to end. And we
kept running on into the night, knowing it could never possibly end.
