I remember that day in the forest. We were lying by the river. You had your arms around me. Do you remember? That was the first time that you had told me that you loved me. I remember that dark blue shirt you were wearing smelled so good. I still have that shirt. Do remember the white dress I had worn? It still hangs in my closet in the same place that I had put it when I had taken it off that day. The grass stains are still on it. Do you remember where we had been before the river? Your sister’s wedding was beautiful. She couldn’t remember my name. Do you remember whenever she saw us together, what she called us? We were “Sweet Seventeen.”

Well, my dear Sweet Seventeen, after that day, I was sure that we were going to last forever. I felt like I was floating on a cloud for weeks after that. I felt like nothing could go wrong, even if I had gotten caught sneaking out at night to see you. Do you remember those nights? You would gently kiss my lips and hold me lovingly late into the night.

Darling Sweet Seventeen, do you remember the first time we made love? I will always remember the feel of the soft red cloth that you had laid out on the ground. When you took me home, I was sure that I couldn’t love you any more that I already did.

Baby Sweet Seventeen, do you remember two weeks later? You had borrowed your father’s red Mercedes. If I close my eyes, I can still see and feel the soft beige interior. Do you remember the movie ad taken me to see? Shirley Temple starred in it. We were so tangled up in each other that we hardly paid any mind to the movie. I remember the rest of the night as if it were yesterday. You were taking me home. Do you remember? It was raining quite hard. It road was like black ice. Someone blew a horn and to swerved to avoid hitting the other car. Do you remember the wall? You hit it hard. That was it. That was the night that you left me.

I still love you. I miss you so much. It has been three months, and I am a little stronger now. It’s still hard, but I am still breathing. I am still alive. Why did you have to go? How did you expect me to live here without you now? I love you. I still need you, my Sweet Seventeen.
