Little Firecracker by Jamie Knight

He’s back.
Yet part of him has been with me this whole time.
Kingsley was my first and only love.
My first and only everything.
Then he had to leave for the Army.
The plan was for me to get on with my life without him.

But little did we know I was carrying part of him with me.
Once I found out, I couldn’t contact him.
Until our paths reconnect almost 9 Fourth of July’s later.
I can’t believe it when I run into him by chance.
His handsome face and ripped body haven’t changed a bit.
The same chemistry is still there, but even stronger.
So fireworks aren’t the only things giving off a spark.

I’m remembering how good we were together.
And how comforted and protected I felt in his arms.
But now I have to tell him the news.
And hope we can make up for lost time.
Can Independence Day bring a new start for us?
Or are we destined to relive the mistakes of our past?
