Do you remember....



...the one that got away? We've all got one. Y'all just thought of him and it brought a little smile to your face. The thought of him, even now, years later, makes your heart pound.



The first time you saw him, it felt as if the world took a breath. The first time you kissed, you're heart stopped. You would be with him forever.



Of course, it doesn't work out that way. That kind of passion burns hot but doesn't last, no matter how hard you try. In fact, the harder you hold on, the faster it dies out.



But, you always remember him. He always holds a special piece of your heart. That little smile? his. That melancholy feeling? his. Never together but always a part of each others' lives. You learned so much, about him, about yourself. You find yourself missing him sometimes but also feeling content with how your life has turned out. There will always be that 'what if' feeling but it's only for a moment...



I was browsing on FaceBook yesterday and came across the brothers of...him! I was so shocked, they're not 'FaceBook' types, not really even computer types. It started so many memories to cascade through my mind, good and bad, wondering how he's doing, what he's been up too, you know, that sorta thing. We'd each be standing across a large room and before long we'd be drawn to each other like two magnets. Even after we were both married we still went out of our way to see each other. No, nothing like that! :-) I'd never cheat. We just felt like we needed to be with each other, just to talk and reminisce, remember how it used to be. We always had...something. I used to see him every few years but it's been over 10 now. I'm no longer married. He's no longer married so...is that spark still there? Does he look older? Do I look older? Should I add his brothers as friends? hmmm......
