when i was sixteen years old i fell in love.
her name was mary. she'd moved to our little rhode island town from minnesota two years earlier.
mary was very smart, and very cool, and she had a faceful of eyes that promised you a better life if you could only know her.
that she knew my name blew my mind. some of my best friends didn't know my name.
from that moment on the guys at school looked at me in a whole new light.
