Love at Cohasset Falls

My first serious boyfriend and I went for a walk on a trail near the Lake Cohasset Waterfall. We found a tree and there he carved our initials “ D & S” inside a heart. Water splashing against the rocks, sun filtering through the tall leafy trees, and his eyes looking ardently into mine made the event wonderfully romantic. Suddenly, he kissed me so sweetly and tenderly. We talked about marriage that day. If I hadn’t moved away, who knows what would have happened? Recently, I tried to find that tree, but the years distorted our initials. Though time may have altered the symbol of our young love, I will always remember that enchanted day in Mill Creek Park.
