Dear Cigarettes,

Hey, how’ve you been? I know we haven’t talked in a months, but I was just thinking about you the other day. I was just kind of reminiscing. We have quite a history, don’t we?

Remember our first time? That was a trip. We kind of got off to a rough start. Not going to lie, I didn’t really like you at first, but you kind of grew on me. That first summer we spent together was really cool, until my parents found out we were seeing each other, then she tried to break us up? We had to meet up in secret. In bathrooms, behind dumpsters, in the backyard late at night. I didn’t care though. I just wanted to see you as much as I could. My parents and all the other adults around me just said I was too young. They said I was being naive, that I didn’t understand. But they didn’t understand, they didn’t understand the hold you had on me.
