First Love Story
Wedding Vows
When I was six years old, I met him at the playground and
he came up to me with a daisy and knelt on both knees and
asked me to marry him. So I pushed him over and ran away.
Two days later he came over and asked if he could play cops
and robbers with me and from that day on, we played together
everyday.
On my first day of secondary school when I was eleven years
old, I was very nervous but at lunch time he came to me
and we sat down and ate lunch together. We did this everyday
for an entire year. You were the first person that I told
about everything. About my crushes, about my lessons and
about all the people I hated. When I was 13, I thought I
was the only one who had never been kissed and you offered
to show me how. We shared our first kiss by the tree in
your back garden.
When I was fifteen years old, we went to our first proper
house party and I got drunk. Even though I made a fool of
myself, you were there to help me stand strong. You didn’t
judge and neither did you make fun of me.
We began to drift apart during the next year and we each
made different friends. I got my first serious boyfriend
and you went through quite a few girlfriends. May came together
with prom night. Everything was arranged as I prepared excitedly
for that day. I got my outfit for months only to find out
on the day before that my boyfriend cheated on me. The first
person I turned to was you. You turned up at my door with
a bouquet of roses and a vintage 1950s car.
I laughed that night.
I cried that night.
We had three glorious years together where I would smile
everyday. Even on the last day when your mother stood up
in church in front of your coffin and began reading from
your diary:
"I saw you when I was six standing by the bench in
a blue checked dress and daisy shoes and I needed to give
you another daisy because… Because I loved you from
that day on."
His wedding vows written the day after prom which I will
never get to hear.
