My old boyfriend, my first true love.
But as I was driving down the highway he
Came to mind.
I calculated that if we had married, like we
Planned, we would have hit the 50 year
Mark by now.
But when my flame headed off to college
He dropped me, and my tender teenaged
Heart was crushed.
I allowed my mind to traverse the years.
If we had ended up together, I wouldn't have
Missy and Rachel or my grandkids.
I wouldn't have my treasured memories with
Jack.
Hard as it was then, it all makes sense,
Looking back.
