Do I? Did I find out that once you've had a fifty-year old you never want a younger woman again? Did I find my high school sweetheart and have a mad love affair with her thirty years later? Is life amazing and am I the luckiest guy in the world? HAHAHA! Maybe ... I've only written the beginning so far. :))
Glad you liked this. Thanks so much Queen of Sweetness and Good Guessing. mikey xxoo

Hi Mikey.

A good start to this piece. The classification has the interest piqued that this would be more than a simple 'love' story.

but this too young boyish youngster occupied my brain. - maybe think about rephrasing this bit to avoid the young / youngster so close together.

All the best
G

Mikey, your memoir of how you first laid eyes on the twelve year old girl, who would decades later capture your heart is well written.Descriptive phases, character development, and dialogue make it an enjoyable read.

Ahhh... yes, Mike, that first love. Will any reality ever live up to that? And... I would love to know how she paid you back... what she owed you. Great little potlatch, my friend. Well written and so many will relate to this. Warmest regards, Marijke :o)

Thirty years later, that blossoming bud of springtime joy, having most likely withered into an old foul-tasting prune, with every glimpse of her youthful splendor covered with shriveled, tree-bark trenched skin. "Another one bites the dust," or looks to be ready. Thanks for another outstanding piece of writing that definitely makes me want to read more.

It will be interceding to find out what she thought she owed the man for. Did she get into a bad marriage because of his blunder in changing what might have been their destiny. I'm not sure, but should be welcome be welcomed?.

An enjoyable story and a good read as with all these potlatch contest stories they are never long enough and I always seem to want to read more which I suppose is the whole point, thanks for sharing.

Well I would have to peruse the story a little further to see just what she thinks he owes her. I think it is a well founded idea and has happened more than once in other novels with different outcomes. Great topic for a story. Nancy

This is an interesting story beginning but strangely I found it too complete in itself really. I was mildly intrigued but not desperate to follow this on. To my mind you closed it off when you abandonned her for the college girl. I appreciate you are about to open it up again aged about 48. Had you finished at "inseparable", you would have countless different avenues open for further exploration. At the moment you have but two really. As I said, mildly intriguing.

What if I ran into her thirty years later and we both were married and we had a wild forbidden affair? That could be fun. LOL mikey

This is a great story of people hooking up after being absent from each other for a period of years. Time separates and people's experiences cause the to develop, grow, and change. (some times)
You leave the reader in anticipation wanting to read more. What does she owe?
That is the question that makes me want to read the continuation of your story.
