I’ve had her, she’s here, and I’m never letting her go again. My head pulses and I groan, rubbing my temples. This is why I don’t drink much anymore. Not only because my body doesn’t recover the same way it did when I was twenty-one, but because things grow fuzzy. Memories become hazy, and part of me is worried I’m misremembering last night, forgetting things, when I want to have our first time together branded on my fucking skin and in my soul for eternity. Not to have to struggle to remember each breath and every moan.
