Allnighter Followed by a Car Ride

Pulling an all-nighter with a friend is always more fun than pulling it by yourself.

We sat in the study room from 3 am till 6:30 in the morning. We saw the sky turn red, then purple, then blue.

He took me for a car ride. It was a beautiful ride.

We drove away from the university, away from the houses, away from the cars and the people and the busy working life.
We drove up to the trees, the forest.
I love seeing the colors change on the leaves. The trees were on fire as the sun ray hit the orange and red leaves. They lit up the mountain.

We stopped at viewpoint, and just looked up.
The air was crisp.
The skies were clear.
There were so many trees.

He put in 25cents for me to look through the binocular things.
It was a small but a kind gesture.
I spied a huge wooden house with a lake of their own. I thought about how nice it would be to live there. With someone I loved.

We drove back.
We sang my favorite song, Lucky by Jason Mraz.
We harmonized each other. He was in a band in high school. He sang and played guitar.
I thought of Warren.

I got so much more out of this than I do during the day.
