I return at dusk to that same place on that same day in March every year. The playing fields of my old school. Under the goal posts where Robert first kissed me. I heard that he left to go and study in Canada.

Even though he is many thousands of miles away, I imagine Robert meeting me again and holding me close. Telling me softly that everything would be alright. Whispering that no matter what, he’d always be there for me.

Even now, just a few short days before my wedding, I think about Robert instead of my future wife.
