My ex- girlfriend made me a cross out of three pipe cleaners, two whites and one yellow, and fourteen little beads, seven, which are red, and seven, which are blue. One of the white pipe cleaners is shaped like the Cross that Jesus died on, the beads are slid on the cross, with a blue one then a red one in a pattern all the way around the cross. The other white pipe cleaner and the yellow one is wrapped around each other. They are bent in half and the cross is tied on it. Then the two halves are wrapped around each other, with enough left unwrapped at the top so I can hang it on my rearview mirror, in my truck. So every time I am in my truck I can look at it and think of her.
The night she made it for me, was a Friday night. She was baby-sitting for one of her friends. She had the pipe cleaners and beads, so she could make the cross for me. I went to the house she was baby-sitting at for a little while. But I left and met up with the guys and we went to River Street, which is in downtown Savannah, and partied all night long. The next night, Saturday night, my ex- girlfriend and I went to Savannah to go eat at LongHorn Steak house and to see the movie Big Daddy in the movie theater. When I got to her house to pick her up, she got in the truck and said "I got something for you sweetie."
"What's that," I said.
"Here, I made this for you last night while I was Baby-sitting," she said.
"Thank you Baby," I said.
She hung it on my rearview, and gave me a big whooping kiss and then we went to Savannah to go get something to eat and watch the movie. I knew it was going to be a good nigh then.
I have it hanging on my rearview mirror, in my truck. I put it there so I can see it while I am riding in my truck. When I am riding in my truck I tend to just start thinking about different stuff that has happened in the past, so I put it there so I can look at it and remember all the good memories that we had together.
When I look at the cross, I think about her and the good times we had together. I remember a lot of good times we had together. I remember Super Bowl Sunday of last year, we went to a Super Bowl party, at my best friend's girlfriend's house and we had the best time. Another was the night another couple, her and I went to her house and watched the movie Friday and after that we went to Savannah and went bowling and had a good time. The other times were just when we were together.
When my friends see my cross hanging on my mirror, they think it is cool that I didn't take it down when we broke up. They see it and they know that I do and did care about her a lot. They think it is cool that my ex-girlfriend and I are still best friends. Because normally when a guy and girl break up that hate each other and never talk to each other again.
My cross has a meaning today, more than it did when she gave it to me. When she gave it to me, it was just something she gave me. Now it is something someone special, in my heart, gave to me. It holds all those memories that I told you about earlier. They mean a lot to me.
