I remember the first time he called me beautiful.
I laughed because I thought he was joking.
How innocent we were,
so naïve, not knowing that one kiss can change a whole relationship.
I remember as the months turned to years,
And the beautifuls became more persistent,
Yet I still laughed because I knew nothing could happen.
I remember that fateful night when fear paralyzed me
And he brought me back to life.
I was frozen in my fear
And he came to my rescue with one passionate kiss.
I remember the weeks that followed
And the fun we had as our new romance began.
I remember the thrill as we fought to keep our romance a secret,
Sneaking from the kitchen to the hallway
And from the bedroom to the car.
I remember how my heart leaped to my throat when the first person called me out on us.
I was so scared to hear the disappointment, but it never came.
I remember the joy I felt with every look and touch from him.
The passion we had for one another was overwhelming.
I was living in a blissful state of naïveté.
I remember the day my ignorance turned into mistrust
because of a person I thought was my friend.
Then I scream and shut down my mind because I can't handle the pain.
So again I remember the first time you called me beautiful.
