No Filter (#2): The Very First (Part 1)

To
the very first,

Really, you were the one who I spent my innocence with, the innocence in which "liking" each other was equivalent to "dating". There were a lot of things that we never got to do, but I don't regret it at all. I was fortunate enough to have spent time with you.

At times I feel somewhat guilty for "stealing" you from another person, however in the end it was... worth it? Sorry for ruining what could have been between you and him, but everything has worked out, in one way or another.

It seems as if it has been forever since we would spend our whole nights together on the phone. To the grade six me, you were the most obvious and important thing. You took precedence over anything and everything. What we had was amazing, and some of my best days were with you.

In the aftermath, it seemed like everything was going to go wrong. For the first time I experienced what I could naively call "heartbreak". Reality came crashing down and I struggled to get up from my very first fall. You were the hand that supported me on my very first steps, and the same one that let me stumble to the ground.

Thank you for everything (even the crashing and burning, that part was needed eventually). Hopefully you had a bit of fun with me, or at least gained something out of it.

Yours truly,
the guy who told you about a piece of lettuce on your shirt (to this day I don't know if you were pulling my leg or not)
