Eternal first love

Eternal first love

By James NewmanPublished 3 years ago 4 min read

His name is Henry Ross, is a simple and honest young man, in an aquarium as a veterinarian, his job is to keep company with those animal friends every day, over time, and many animals have formed a deep friendship. However, in spite of these friends, Henry is still lonely, because he lives every day to give the animals in the aquarium physical examination, feed them, help them bathe and so on, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Henry has been very happy, in fact, his inner true emotional world, only he knows. Plagiarism day by day, plain to see no waves, in such silence, how many people feel depressed. He has no lover, no vehicle for love. Everything in life becomes dull.

But an encounter in a cafe changed his quiet life forever.

That morning, Henry walked into the cafe next to the aquarium. As he sat waiting for his food, a reflection of the mirror caught his face. Henry naturally turned around. He saw a beautiful blonde, a girl with an angelic face, radiant with joy, and a plump, charming figure. Seeing this, Henry could not help but feel a heartbeat, what are you waiting for? Isn't she the one you've been looking for?

However, the timid Henry only watched her from a distance, but never dared to go up and talk to the girl. He felt guilty for a long time.

Fortunately, the next day, at the same time and in the same place, Henry met the girl again.

This time Henry could not sit still any longer, and ventured forward, intending to make the acquaintance of this beautiful girl.

That day, they talked for a long time in the cafe.

Her name, I learned from the conversation, was Lucy, and they met like friends until they left reluctantly for a long time.

But the strange thing was that when Henry met Lucy again on the third day, he said hello to her, but she did not answer him. Henry was very puzzled. Clearly talked about yesterday, how can overnight become a stranger? Just then, the owner of the cafe came over and told him the terrible truth - Lucy had suffered from amnesia after a car accident. Memories can only exist in her mind for 12 hours, and after one night, all memories will be zero.

Henry was very sad to hear this. By this time he was deeply in love with Lucy. It is impossible for him to give up. So, although Henry was regarded as "unknown" by Lucy many times, Henry did not give up, and tried to approach her in different ways each time, and even tried to kidnap himself. His purpose was very simple, just to make Lucy know him again every day.

Like all romance novels, their time together doesn't go so well, and Lucy's family soon finds out about them. He had better stay away from Lucy, he warned Henry sharply. Or he's gonna get in the way. However, people in love can not care about this, Henry is still deeply in love with Lucy. In spite of all the attempts of Lucy's family.

Finally one day, their love touched Lucy's family, Henry and Lucy finally got the "love pass". Soon after, they had their first kiss.

But Henry had to do the same thing every day to make himself known and accepted by Lucy. I don't know how many days this happened. But every day, Henry loved it. So, every day they kissed each other with the posture of first love, on the hillside, on the prairie, on the beach... Every time I love you.

Finally one day, Lucy herself also knew her illness, she was in a panic, after the fear, finally had a good way to make up for it, that is to record what happened to them that day with a video camera, the next morning, Lucy woke up to play the tape, so that she could recall yesterday's memory.

Such days, day by day, they each other for love to keep the covenant, only until they married, children are still the same. In such a time, their love is always the first love. For Henry and Lucy, the sun was new every day, and the days were colorful every day.

Ordinary people have only one first love in their life, but Henry has met countless times, and they are all with the same girl, her name is Lucy. Amnesia may have been an infinite sorrow to other families, but it was an infinite happiness to Henry and Lucy. Because it is amnesia that makes their love appear a permanent preservative.

This is a true story, later changed into a movie, put on the screen, the name of the movie is called Fifty First Loves, this is the Chinese version of the translation, but I do not like the name. I think it should be called "First Love Forever", although they "first love" many times before getting married, but after the marriage, Lucy woke up every morning, still have to bring memories of yesterday's story through the video, this for Lucy, always have the feeling of first love, this for Henry, always have a first love heart to face.

There is a Chinese saying that goes like this: "If life is only like the first sight, what is the autumn wind sad painting fan." In his essay "First Encounter," Simuron said: "Beautiful dreams, like beautiful poems, can be met but not sought, and often appear at the least expected moment." All the wasted time can be returned to the ecstasy and gratitude. My heart is full of happiness, because you are right in front of me, smiling at me, just like in those days. I really like that dream, clearly know that you have traveled for me thousands of miles, but feel the fresh grass, fall colorful, as if you and I just met at the beginning.

Meet at the beginning, this life, this innocence, this original, how beautiful!
