Love

One, two, three…

October 06, 2014 J. 0 Comments

I noticed that “First Love” has quickly moved up the ranks of my most popular posts over the last couple of weeks. The only other piece I wrote that moved up that fast was “How to get out of friend-zone”.  Anyway, since you all have decided to (selfishly) not share your first love stories with me, I’ll share mine in as few words as I can. It is not possible to do justice to this tale in so little words but alas, I fear that if I stare too long into that abyss it will stare right back.

One, two, three…

He was a boy.
I’d known him a long time
But he was just a boy.

And then suddenly he wasn’t.
Suddenly I knew the way he smelled.
Suddenly I could tell the tale of every line on his face.
Suddenly he was part of the most important things to me.

But we were only 14.
Drunk on hormones
How could it even be remotely true?
What did we know?

 And then we were 16.
The feel of my hands in his,
His lips on mine
The butterflies in my gut.
The feelings only got deeper.

And then we were 19
And still my heart beat for only him.
Our souls were entwined in this endless dance.
The earth was just one giant ballroom
And nature itself played the tune to our waltz
One, two, three… One, two, three… One, two, three…
Our steps echoed in the stillness.

For years that seemed more like decades we danced
Twirling and swirling
Parting and returning
One, two, three… One, two, three… One, two, three…
Until we didn’t return anymore
One, two, three.. One, two, three.. One, two, three seven...♥
