Vacation With My MumIt was the summer between my freshman and sophomore years
of high school and I was on vacation with my mother. On my second or third day there we began talking at the swimming pool. He was very nice and polite -- not the cocky jock I had him pegged for. We went for a walk on the beach and talked for most of the afternoon. I discovered he was leaving the next day, so I asked if I could take his picture -- I couldn't believe this great guy and I had hit it off. After breakfast the next morning, I found a piece of paper he had left under the door to our bungalow -- he had given me his address and phone number. He lived in New Hampshire, I in Connecticut. When you're 15, that's a long way, but at least we were a few hours' drive apart. We began writing, the letters became more and more frequent, and soon they were love letters. In one he sent sand from the beach where we had met. We exchanged photos of our homes and pets. And once a week we had the ecstasy of talking on the phone -- the most our parents would allow long distance. In December he and his mom visited for a weekend so he could go to a school dance with me. It was heaven. It was the first time I slow-danced with a boy and the first time I was kissed. We kissed several times that evening. Sometimes when he was searching for my lips I would hide my face in the crook of his neck because I was simply overwhelmed. Those kisses were amazing. For Valentine's Day I sent him a package covered with hearts and he sent me a bracelet. Soon the letters and phone calls waned. I started to like a boy at my school who had been flirting with me for a while. And Steve and I hadn't written or talked for a month or more. I wrote one last letter explaining my feelings. And that was it. Now I'm an adult in a long-term relationship wondering if marriage is something I want in my future. Every now and then I think back to Steve and how innocent and simple our love was. You only get that once in your life.
