As Taylor drove through her home town for the first time in years, memories of a perfect summer and of Johnny flooded her thoughts. She smiled as she remembered dancing with Johnny by the lake to her favorite Tim Mcgraw song.
She drove up to his house and parked the car in the driveway, just like she had done so many times that long-ago summer. Standing on his porch, she remembered the September that she left for college. She remembered that month of tears and thanking God that Johnny wasn't there to see her like that.
Nervously she knocked on the door.
"What if he doesn't want to see me?" she thought.
No one answered. As she turned to leave she got an idea. She ran to her car, opened up her glove compartment and began digging for a pen and paper.
Johnny was exhasted. As he unlocked the front door he saw an envolope with his name on it on his doorstep. He opened it hastily but slowed down as he read:
When you think: Tim McGraw,
I hope you think my favorite song
Some day you'll turn your radio on,
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness,
I hope you think: "That little black dress"
Think of my head on your chest,
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw,
I hope you think of me.
Johnny ran to his red Chevy and started the engine. He drove as fast as the speed limit would allow all the way to Taylor's parents house. When he knocked on the door it was Taylor who answered.
"Hello Johnny." she said timidly.
Without answering he pulled her into his arms and started singing a certain song softly into her ear.

After the first paragraph I knew your inspiration. I love that song. You did a good interpretation of it too. I think it would have been better though if you'd added more of your own stuff rather than just what was in the song. But this was good nonetheless. And lol. I see Tay loved it, but then again, it's got her name in it.
