(From a man's perspective)
The first time we met, I accidentally broke your glasses and you told me I had to be your personal escort. Just so you could see.
The first time we had an actual conversation, you told me you had plans to marry yourself. That it would be one of the best weddings in America.
The first time I asked you out, you decided you'd cook for me in your apartment.
The first time we went on our first date, you made a burnt grilled cheese. I ate it anyway.
The first time I kissed you, your eyes lit up like the sun. You nearly burned me with your dark glare. I didn't warn you and you were mad. But it was just on the cheek.
The second time we went on our date, you told me I had Godzilla feet. I complemented you back by saying you had a crow's nose. We both laughed and were kicked out of the restaurant.
The second time I kissed you, you were sleeping beside me in your penguin pajamas. You were so worn out from our pillow fight. It was your nose this time.
The third time I saw your smile. I realized how crooked your teeth were, not quite noticible but crooked all the same. You wanted braces, but I told you no because I loved your smile. It was-IS beautiful to me.
The third time we went to the park, you told me I was a bird. Your bird, who would always fly you back home. Right where you belong.
The third time we kissed, was our wedding day. Our rainy wedding day. But despite our ruined decorations and the smeared makeup running down your face, I still found you extremely...well there's no word to describe you. Perfect. Beautiful.
The fourth time we kissed, you were pushing with all your might to bring our son into this world. He was so precious. Tears flowed from both of our eyes.
The last time we kissed, you were fading away from me. We named our son and you told me goodbye. I promised before your eyes fluttered shut, that he would remember who you were and he'd be loved. Just as his mother would love him.
The last time.

أدب المراهقينTÉ is a book that was made on a whim. It has collections of short 500-word stories or contests that I entered and did not win in. It may seem lame, but I think it'll be an interesting journey to start. At the top of each page there will be a brief...
