The First Thing

didn’t seem to notice the way that they _________ when your eyes met theirs…didn’t seem to notice it at all. didn’t think about anything except their beautiful ________ & their sexy _______ & all in all, the butterflies roamed free in the stomach, making what seemed to be a mundane life before, exciting now. as the frequency of your rendezvous began to increase, the heart rates pitter-pattered faster & faster, told all your friends, family, started to invest larger portions of your time to each other & then it happened. remember the first time that they had _________? you don’t, really, because when it happened first, you ignored it, or perhaps your whole body/mind were so overcome with their presence & the newness of the thing that in the moment _________ never really bothered you at all. but now, now that the “magic” is dwindling, this thing, this _________, which seemed like nothing before, seems like the first in a series of dominoes bent on the inevitable destruction of something that had been established solely on the grounds of desperation.
