What will we find in the head of Mish?

Remembering

I'm sitting at the train station at Terang, looking out away from under the platform. Waiting for a train to Melbourne, to get back to Benalla. There seemed to be some construction work there at some point, a mound of gravel just past the train tracks off to the left; and a front-end loader were testament to that. It was very green, the field across from us was writing with life; cows and birds. A car whizzed past right-to-left, I believe it was reddy orange; obviously on it's way to someplace it's owner needed to be.

I had alot on my mind, on my way home from Hamilton after visiting a now close friend. We hadn't known each other for very long, but our friendship grew explosively. We fell for each other, and had started to become very close; acts of affection were commonplace during the three days we had just spent together. They would be for at least the next few months. But for now, I had to return to Benalla; and leave the woman I had grown close to behind. I couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful the surrounding landscape is, or how wonderful it felt to have found someone.

I was a new Christian, having given my life to God only a short few weeks ago; and she was very excited for me. I had believed in God for a few years, but I wasn't exposed to any Christian friends until earler; and gave my life to God at a "gushMEET" at the Melbourne Zoo. Since then, we had gotten quite close online, and that didn't change when we finally met in person. But now it was time to return home.

I turned to my friend, Sally, who had made the journey with me and with whom I was now making the return; we had been conversing while awaiting our inevitable transportation from Terang, but throughout the visit Sally had been quite suspicious of the romantic interaction that I had been sharing with the woman we had just visited.

Sally looked into my eyes, and asked me "Did you and Melissa kiss while we were there?". I replied "No".

We had.
