Sade - Never As Good As The First Time

Left my husband.
Moved to my apartment on Elbow Drive.  It was in Calgary. I was single. Strong. Excited.
Hot boyfriend. Great sex. Hot boyfriend. 
Lots of Sade. Lots of sex. Tons of fun. Great boyfriend. Did I say that already?
That boyfriend just kept on coming back. Doesn't speak much for his emotional stability hanging out
with Miss Unpredictable. He was a like a Timex watch. You know...
First time owning a cat - Katie. In a one bedroom apartment. Fabulous!
We still used record players and reel to reels for great quality music.
Time. Changes. No Walkmans. No computers.
I did have an Astratune however.
Oh to be young again. Hmmm - 1985. Sheesh. Seems like a lifetime ago.
OK - I was 24 years old plus or minus a year. Looking back, that marriage didn't last very long. However we were together for over eight years. That's a 1/3 of your lifetime when you're 24.
Here's some advice for you dear Kami. Never marry your high school sweetheart (yes I know it works for some) but the second piece of advice would be try before you buy.
And don't ask you parents for a ton of money on a lavish wedding. Have them put it in trust to save for you for when the bubble bursts. Get married on the beach. I promise to come and bring anyone you want (less than 10 people). Gotta set my limits since the economy crashed.
OK - I know what you're all thinking. Just because I made these mistakes doesn't mean she will too. But the toxic bliss of loving and feeling loved can be addictive. Doesn't last. Reality sets in. Then you're fucked. 
Nothing compares to the joy of youth and freedom. So much fun. Memories. Great ones that give me an ear to ear smile! :)
I wonder if that now married ex-boyfriend needs Viagra now? God it's fun to be almost 50.
Is it some sick joke that we amp up as women when men's parts simply quit working? I wanna know what that's all about. Really. It's a cruel sick joke.
Doesn't give me a lot of hope for round two.
