In that moment, that brief yet eternal time, my life seemed to revolve around it. But as time passed, the weight of that moment dissipated into the ether, until eventually it would disappear entirely, leaving nothing in its wake.

It was in that moment that my first love died within me, a remembrance of something that once was, but can never be again. Like a rose that had wilted and faded away, it left behind only a bittersweet memory.

But even as the memory fades, the moment will always be there, nestled in the deep recesses of my heart, a poignant reminder of a love that was both beautiful and tragic, and of the impermanence of all things in this world.
