Awwwwe, The Month of The Sweethearts...
Well, I don't have a sweetheart for this year. I'm not exactly sad about that, and I'm not exactly happy about it either. I just find myself reminiscing, a little more that usual, about the sweethearts I have had. And truth be told, there's really only one of significance. He was my first kiss. It didn't happen on Valentines or anything like that...and it wasn't all that memorable. My first kiss just really wasn't all what people hype it up to be.
That being said, I do have to say that my second kiss completely redeemed the first one. Yes, it did! I'm definitely partial to the second kiss. It's actually a sweet little story, which is why I've decided to let you in on it.
I "surprise" visited my ex-sweetheart that day at a dialysis treatment center. I really felt for him, because he had just been diagnosed with kidney failure. Apparently he only had 40% (or around that) of his kidney functioning. I stayed with him for the duration of his treatment. I don't remember what all we did...I just remember that we had fun together (well, as much fun as you can have being tied down by three prongs in your veins). We just talked and laughed and joked and talked some more about politics (we loved talking about politics). Anyways, after his treatment was done, we went to a family dinner at my uncle's house that I had invited him to.
It was dark, semi-chilly, crescent moon out, lots of stars, huge stars, holding hands...definitely magical. I was walking a little ahead of him, and we were almost at the front door when he gripped my hand a little tighter and swung me around (like in the movies guys, no joke). And well, you know what happened next.
The funny thing is that my uncle Merced's house has light sensors all around, and when we kissed...all the lights went on. My ex-sweetheart freaked out and almost pushed me to the other side of the yard. lol. To this day, I wonder why the lights didn't turn on while we were walking up the driveway, but only when we kissed? Maybe someone was watching?...I'll just never know. Or maybe we were totally mackin' it out, and didn't realize the mackinating power of our mackquaciously sweet lips intermacketing. Yup, definitely partial to the second one. Unforgettable.
