ELIZABETH ROSE

Call you up in the middle of the night/Like a firefly without a light/You were there like a blowtorch burning/I was a key that could use a little turning/So tired that I couldn’t even sleep/So many secrets I couldn’t keep/Promised myself I wouldn’t weep/One more promise I couldn’t keep/It seems no one can help me now/I’m in too deep there’s no way out/This time I have really led myself astray/Runaway train, never going back/Wrong way on a one-way track/Seems like I should be getting somewhere/Somehow I’m neither here nor there…

Lyrics to Runaway Train by Soul Asylum

.

That was the song that was playing on my boyfriend’s tape deck as I lost my virginity. It’s still a song that brings me back to that afternoon I bunked off school to visit his bedsit. The fumbling first attempts that finally succeeded in stripping me of my innocence. Ahhh first times.

First loves, first kisses, first anniversaries. All those wonderful firsts of your recent or distant past, that a simple melody, scent or return to the site of a previous adventure, will take you right back to that very special first moment.

This month we are celebrating all our cherished first and once ever so new experiences with our beloved readers (that’s you!).

I hope you enjoy them this time as much as we all did the first time round…
