Sweet Memories

On my way back to the office from lunch, I heard Sweet Dreams by La Bouche. The song took me back to 1996 - specifically a moment in time when I was eating chili out of blue ceramic bowls with Chris, before we were a couple, at his apartment on Cedar Springs. I was there to help him pack for his eventual move across town. We watched TV, he talked about a man he liked (a muscular guy named Jami), all the while I boiled on the inside because I wanted him for myself.
