Lost

A Story by Symrin

This is my first attempt at writing. Hope you like it!

Mom have you always loved dad? Was it love at first sight? Did u know he was the one when u first saw him?
She smiles slightly and thoughtfully looks sideways, thinking about the past.
She goes back to the first day of college. The first day she saw the father of her child, the first day she saw her first love. But, these two are not one and the same, they are two different people.
She then looked at her 6 year old daughter, really looked at her, thinking how it had been almost 10 years since that day.
Sobering up, she said to her daughter, "that's a lot of questions. Go to sleep or you won't wake up in time for school tomorrow." Gives her a kiss and wishes her a goodnight. On her way out she turned the lights off and closed the door.
She went downstairs to get a drink. She was overwhelmed by thinking of the past. It had been so long since she had thought about him. She tried to keep him buried inside her heart but every once in a while he climbed up to the surface to torment her.
In her college days, everyone thought they'd end up together. "They are the epitome of true love" one had said.
"love" she chuckles humorlessly pouring herself some scotch.
The word held no meaning for her now.
