My Father's Story

They say you never forget your first love. I was 38 when I fell for Taylor. We'd meet at a coffee shop after school. Taylor had infectious laugh that made my heart skip. It was the best time of my life. Years later, I saw Taylor at a wedding. We smiled, hugged, promised to keep in touch. We never did. But that feeling? It's still there, tucked away in a corner of my heart.
