Dear "Heat stopper,"

That sunny day, on the eighth of September,

You took my breath away.

It was the best of times,

Little did I know

a few year later, you'd rip it away.

You were a "heart stopper"

that''s what the neighborhood folks used to frown smile and say.

I'd laugh it off, giving you a look only you could convey.

You smiled, pulling me into a passionate kiss,

"Sure stopped my heart" I'd say in pure bliss.

Until that night,

I climbed into my bike,

Ringing your doorbell, I just had to see you.

Your dad was home, he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"Went over her boyfriend's house, said something about a date, said she told you, Jay," he said.

Those words punched me right in the gut.

I laughed until I realized his face held no trace of humor. Wait what?

Funny thing is, you never told your parents about us.

We were a secret for "My parents are overprotective of me" reasons, I see why.

You wanted to fool with someone's else's mind.

You sure did, yeah mine.

I now know why those folks called you a "heat stopper"

I was stupid enough to not take it literally.

I mean, for fucks sake they even warned me.

With love,
