I Loved You Then, I Love You Now And I Will Love You Always
I miss you, Bobby. I loved you when we were both little kids, and you loved me.
I love you now. I remember our passion in first and second grade. Oh, those long kisses. The tight holds of our hands. And those hugs. Oh, yes, those HUGS. Usually, the old-lady or old-maid teachers tried to discourage even "baby" love. But I saw them see us as they stood at the end of the hall and smiled at us. I guess they thought it was "cute" and really not serious.
But what do grownups know?
The last time I saw you, and we talked for ever so long, we were adults then. But the last thing you said to me was "Give me a hug."
Arms around the neck, my head against yours - and WOW! I was seven years old for one more time. I felt the rushing passion in the beat of my heart.
You were my very first boyfriend - and I will love you always.
And remember you, too.
