Dear Pocahontas

Tonight was my first time to visit you.  I drove about 25-30 miles to see you.  On the drive there I couldn’t stop thinking about you.  I had high hopes and big dreams for the night.  I really hoped the night would be perfect and special.  Although I wasn’t entirely disappointed I did feel let down and betrayed.
