My Days With Lee

He was eighteen, and awkward as all hell. He was sweet, and treated me right from the very beginning. Our first "date" was to the drive-in movie theater where he worked, while he was working so I wouldn't have to be home alone while our moms went out. He would give me candy and gum and little things to make me smile. We went hiking together, and then went swimming/cliff jumping at the lake. We would watch movies together, and from July to September it was perfect. Awkward, but sweet and perfect in the sense that I wouldn't change anything about it. I loved him before I even realized it.

But like all good things, it had to end. Our sweet, casual, summer fling ended September 15th. That was when his dad passed away, and our casual, innocent, and un-strained relationship suddenly took a turn for the serious. We were in a relationship for four months after that, until New Years. Sadly, that was the end of me and Lee. I still love him. He'll always have my heart.
