Remember your first true love?
Most of the time, I don't think about him.
It's odd how someone who was only present in your life for a matter of weeks can consume your mind for so long afterward. Yesterday I went with friends to the beach and on the way home we stopped at a Strawberry Farm for their famous strawberry icecreams. The only other occasion I had visited this place was with my ex. Strangely, as I had the icecream with my friends I realised just how amazingly delicous it was. I was also surprised to find the cream and strawberries at the bottom of the cone. It was as if I had never tried it before! People say that food tastes better when you are with someone you love - sometimes you love someone so much, eating doesn't even register. The things that do register are the texture of his skin, the curl of his hair in your fingers, the devastating gaze that held you captive until you were forced apart by insignificant things like work, sleep and study.
I try not to think about him...much.

How could I forget?
