The Day Everything Changed

They say you never forget your first love. I was 41 when I fell for Finley. We'd meet at a small cafe after school. Finley had gentle hands that made my heart skip. Everything felt perfect. Years later, I saw Finley at the grocery store. 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.
