Before and After

They say you never forget your first love. I was 32 when I fell for Reese. We'd meet at a coffee shop after school. Reese had infectious laugh that made my heart skip. We thought it would last forever. Years later, I saw Reese 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.
