It makes you wonder. Long lost flings that you often think about.

Surely they dont even remember you? We were just a blip in their lives. It was fun, but we should move on. I'm sure they have moved on.

Meanwhile, they are thinking the exact same thing.

It makes me want to take the risk and reach out to someone I thought was important to me.

This is sweet but it's kinda weird to make a production out of. We're talking about two young people fucking like rabbits a few times and then going on with their lives but they seem madly in love literally a full lifetime later.

All that for just a couple hours? Did they even let grandpa get his dick wet?
