To The First Man Who Stole My Heart
to the first man who stole my heart, swept off my feet by this man who cradled me to sleep, whose heart I melted as he smiled down to me, the first man who taught me how to love, though my piercing cries rang out from the backseat of his car the whole way home…… Continue reading To The First Man Who Stole My Heart
