The First Time

Is it true what they say? "Everyone remembers their first." In a way... it's true for me. You weren't my first partner... but you were my first true love. My first home. My first shot at happiness.

How about you? Do you remember the first time you held me? I do. It was during the summer's storm some odd years ago outside of that one party... I can't remember who's party it was, but I remember the rain dancing on our cheeks, I remember you trembling while you pulled me closer. We looked like two drowned rats, but I didn't care. The way your brown hair stuck to your freckled face... you were beautiful.

Now I wonder how am I supposed to face the sun... Did you think about that before you left?
