What She Taught Me

They say you never forget your first love. I was 26 when I fell for Emerson. We'd meet at the park after school. Emerson had warm voice that made my heart skip. It was the best time of my life. Years later, I saw Emerson 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.
