I remember a boy,
he had blond hair and blue eyes.
When I was eleven,
heasked me to go on a date,
I had never been on a date before...
We went to the movies,
I dont remember much about it.
Only the feeling of nervousness
in my tummy.
It wasn't like the nervousness
I got when I was older though.
It was the blushing,
silly,
tripping over feet
and head butting each other when trying to kiss
kind of nervousness.
I think the movie we saw was Cars
and he may have tried to hold me hand once.
The part I remember the most,
was when we were in his room,
and my head was resting on his tummy,
and we were looking at eachother
with a fondness in our eyes
I have rarely seen,
maybe never.
And I could hear his tummy making noises,
and it sounded like
when you put your ears beneath the water in the bathtub,
and you hear everything that isn't normally there.
I started to fall asleep,
with my face still on his soft tummy,
and I think he was still looking at me.
My last thought before drifting off was;
'His tummy is kind of like mine,
bigger than most,
but really soft and comforting,
the perfect tummy to fall
asleep on.'
.................
I remembered you today,
boy with the blond hair and blue eyes.
I remembered how we went on a date,
my first date,
and how your tummy matched mine.
I remembered how my father said;
'*What a cute, fat little couple'*
And how I didn't know how to deal with that,
how I didn't know how to tell you,
so I didn't tell you anything...
I wonder how much would have changed,
if you would have been,
instead of him.
I even remembered your name today,
it was Jacob
