"From all the letters that I've saved..."

Dear, Sophia,

Remember our first date? I took you to the carnival. I drove us there in my pickup truck. I remember what you wore to. A black blouse, a black floral skirt that flowed around you so beautifully, and black flats. Your hair was up in a bun. I was able to see your gorgeous face. You looked beautiful.

I just wore a black KISS shirt, some denim jeans, sneakers, a bandana, and my plaid flannel that you loved so much. I gave that flannel to you that night. You said you were cold and lent it to you, but after I dropped you off, I said you could have it. You wore it almost everywhere you went. Your mom gave it back to me after you left, you know that? I still have it.

Anyway, that night was one of the best nights of my life. We went on so many rides including that haunted house ride that I scared you in. I hate said I was sorry and kissed your forehead and you blushed so much. We went on the Ferris Wheel too. Your face was so beautiful in the lights.

We had eaten a lot too. Cheese nachos with extra olives and salsa, blue cotton candy, caramel corn, and funnel cake. I felt fat by the time I dropped you off.

You had kissed me that night. Well, not really. You kissed the corner of my mouth. It was when I dropped you off at your house. It was a quick peck, but I still felt it. It burned into my skin.

Just like all of your a million other kisses.

They still burn.

Love, Ashton
