The Love of My Life

The Love of My Life Flowing tresses of.blond hair and deep blue eyes We flirted, promising our undying love for each other I was captivated by her girlish charm and wit After nine steamy months it came to an end I moved to a new school district to start third grade

Just reading the comment below mine. You were not writing about Oedipus complex, were you?

Haha. Such a cute ending. I remember crushed at that age too. I learned sadly at my 50 HS reunion the guy I had liked in kindergarten had died and he never knew I liked him

It just wasn't to be Oliver, but you never forget those early relationships, you wonder how their lives turned out. You've got me thinking now. Enjoy your weekend. Tom
