You were like a 90's movie:
Completely consuming to my younger self, every line, catchphrase, and sequence embedded in me. Becoming as much part of me as my own personality.
Totally embarrassing and shameful to my older self, a harsh reminder that I was even young and ignorant. That I confused quantity for quality; in love, affection, whispered sweet nothings on stale bed sheets.
But remembered with a nostalgia that can't quite be recreated, no matter how many times I try to relive it in my head.
Perhaps it's because I'm still too young, and the best metaphor I can conjure up when people ask me about my first love
is that you were like a 90's movie.
As pathetic as it sounds, it is no doubt fitting, because we outgrew each other with age.
It was only with time that we saw each other as laughably outdated.
Perhaps we are all just products of our time.
