The Blue Dress

I remember the first time you took me to London to buy a dress we stopped off at Sloane Square and ate lunch then on up to Hight Street Kensington It was our adventure

there was an H&M I thought it was French (it was Swedish) and the height of fashion and inside we found a dress and I can’t remember what it was for or even how old I was but I remember the emotion and I remember that dress the way I felt that just for once something was made just for me

I remember my sister telling me it was an empire line and it suited me and I repeated that to all my friends as if I knew what an empire line was or where it lay

these are the adventures that seep into my mind, as I travel back home
