My first love

When I was 11 years old we moved with my parents to a small family house at the periphery of the town. First few weeks I was against it because I did not want to leave all my friends I found through the years we lived in the housing estate. So it took while since I established in the new house and neighbourhood.
Then I began to meet with the children from the neighbourhood and soon I found a lot of friends. It has been a really nice place to live. There was a really beautiful playground near our house and also a big park with a lot of trees. There was also a big forest near the house. We often played a lot of games there. I used to live there in a short time and then I couldn't imagine moving back at he dirty housing estate.
So I found small group of children and we spent a lot of time together. One of them was Dan. He was older then me by 2 years. He had a nice brown curly hair and beautiful blue eyes. He was older then all of us so in the most of the games he was our leader. He was very funny and also he was a very kind to all of his friends. The games were much more interesting with Dan. I was crazy in love with him but I never told him about that.
Once, we played the game. We had to hide in the forest and I decided to hide with the Dan. When the game has started we ran into the forest and I was slower then Dan so he decided to take my hand and then we stayed together till the end of the game.
Since then we were together all the time. We went at the swimming pool and we sometimes played with other friends. We sometimes went hand by hand but we didn't want others to see us. I still remember when Dan kissed me for the first time. It was just a small kiss but it was first real kiss in my life and I will remember that moment for the rest of my life.
Our relationship lasted nearly one year and we were a really good "friends". And then, during the spring, suddenly Dan had to move away with his parents. They moved to the other part of the country, far from our town. We promised to write the letters each other but it didn't last a long time. I still have a few his letters somewhere in the case. I have never seen him again. I still have to thing about him sometimes but most probably I will never see him again. I will always see him as a small curly boy who once took me by the hand in the forest. He was my first love in my life...
