my first love was a girl

I was 5, she was 4. We played only with each other. I was Superman, and always saved her, Lois, from things such as sand or colorful Lego…

When I was 6, I went to 1st grade, but she was only 5, so she had to stay in that kindergarten for another year before she could come to my school. We decided that nothing would come between us. We’ll wait, we said, and when we grow up we will get married!

One year later, on the first day of my 2nd grade, I walk at the schoolyard and saw her, on her first year in 1st grade. We looked at each other for a long time, no one said anything, and then we both turned around and went away. That was the end of our first love.
