Day 5: A Song that Reminds Me of Someone

Did you guys know I had a "boyfriend" in first grade? It's true. His name was Justin. I was in this great clique, and I'm pretty sure one of the requirements for joining was you had to be a fan of the Spice Girls. We would hang out at recess and sometimes try to determine how to get back at the "class bully," Dillon. I don't have the greatest memory in the world, but looking back I don't recall Dillon ever doing anything to hurt anyone else. Of course, I don't remember anything we did to him either. I think someone told me he was the bully and we had to act against that, and I just went with it.

Anyway, back to Justin. At some point, it was decided the two of us should be boyfriend and girlfriend (Don't ask me why he couldn't have picked either of the other two girls in the group), but to earn his love I had to memorize...."The Titanic song."

Here it is: "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion

Yep, that's the one. Justin moved to some other city after first grade and I never saw him again. I don't remember ever knowing his last name, and beyond "dark hair" I couldn't tell you what he looked like at all, but every time I hear this song a piece of my mind always travels back to my silly first-grade "relationship" and our little group of crazy people.
