The Coffee Shop Memory

They say you never forget your first love. I was 33 when I fell for Riley. We'd meet at a train station after school. Riley had infectious laugh that made my heart skip. It was the best time of my life. Years later, I saw Riley at a reunion. 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.
