The Memory of You; A Second Chance Romance

Elijah was my best friend as a child.
He was my lover in my teens.
He was my everything once.
And in adulthood, now him and I are nothing but memories of a summer long gone.
As a child, a teen, he had painted my life in new colours I hadn't know my life was colourless in. He taught me how to love, in a gentle and pure way.

When one night ended it all, one night breaking a hundred summers, the singer, Amelia, ran away from her hometown, away from him, and was never seen again.

But that was years ago, and when Amelias career implodes in her face, her singing partner and boyfriend has cheated on her, and now she runs again. Back home this time.

I haven't been home in years, and I never thought I would. When I was a chid, I didn't realise that our childhood love could've echoed back in my adult life. I didn't feel the ripples when I was touring the world singing, the memories of us, until I was back at the house. Back at the beach where he had kissed me senseless all those summers ago.

Before I had thought that all we were was a collective bunch of memories that had become golden under the light of age. I thought that him and I were a dead past, but now seeing him, swimming with him under the sun, I wonder if he can become my future too.
