I was very happy being with the twins especially on Friday evenings after school ,but my heart sank when I founded out they had to head back to Germany,so during their weeks in American I decided to buy them goodbye presents.
It took most of my allowance ,and I also did not eat lunch in school during those weeks ,so I can save more money for two crystal hearts that I wanted to give them .I wanted each heart engraved in gold with their first names but I did not have enough money..
On that faithful day at the roller rink with polka music playing through the speakers I did talk to the twins. What I actually wanted to say is how much I love them, but I figured doing so would probably would make them feel uncomfortable. So I decided to say "I love them" symbolically by giving them those special presents.
I told Allison and Heidi I wanted to tell them something ,but I do not know how to exactly to say it or even if I should. I reached in a bag where I had the "crystal" hearts. I gave Allison the first one saying "Allison, I give you my heart" and turn to Heidi and gave her the second one saying "Heidi, I give you my heart"
They told me they would accept my gifts and then they did the back and forth twin thing and this is how the conversation went:
Heidi: "Stanley, we know what you are trying to say"
Allison: "and the feeling is mutual"
Heidi: "For the both of us"
Maybe it was our way saying we love each other but we were all afraid to say "I love you" to each other. Maybe it was better to leave it unsaid and just leave it like that.
Suddenly Heidi put her arms around me and gave me a 15 second hug .I felt her lips on my right ear lobe.It was not exactly a kiss but I was going to count it as one.After all I wound up with a wet ear lode and I didn't care.
Allison gave me a 15 second hug next felt her lips wound up with an even wetter right ear lobe.That definitely made all three of us feel better the hugs and ice cream I have ordered for all three of us, my treat.
Allison and Heidi had ask me if I wanted to roller skate with them for one final time,but this time they said they were not going to let go of me, but to skate me around the roller rink for at least 5-7 minutes.I rented a pair of roller skates and off we went.
That night when I was home in my bedroom I cried tears by the barrels full so much so that I wound up with a hell of a headache and had to take a couple of commerical pain pills.
At my old age now I still do not get a mid-life crisis but if and when I do I will always look back in the year 1963 when Allison and Heidi tried to teach me how to roller skate.
No matter how many times I had falling down ,and no matter how stoved I was or much pain I felt ; I will always remember it as the best pain I have ever felt ever.Yes Allison and Heidi were that beautiful.
I will always remember Allison and Heidi and how hard it was for all three of us to stifle our tears.
