Second Love

I should tell you about the anger and tears that set in after the loss of your FIRST LOVE. How it makes you want to vomit on couples holding hands. How there's no more fumbling kisses after shy first dates. Or maybe I should write an essay about how forever gone is nervousness giving you that excited knot between your throat and stomach. I could write pages about drowning in despair. Everyfag I know is toting a breakup. But...

I'd rather take you to the edge of misery. Miles away from the past. Pick up the story right after the final emotional collapse. First Love is rough, but the discoveries afterward are priceless. This issue picks up at the magical point known as "moving on".
