As you basked in the California sunset, a sudden cool coastal breeze hits you. It brought along memories that you fought so hard to bury in the past, yet they stuck to you like the sand on your skin. Stubborn souvenirs that will forever be engraved in your soul. You shivered. Unlocking the Pandora's box in your mind and letting the flooding memories attack you like whiplash.
Suddenly you were transported back to the summer before your senior year of high school. Back when you didn't know better. Back when you should've known better. Fooling around with a guy who was 1 year your junior. Hoping it could've been something more, knowing deep down; it would never have been more than just a summer fling.
You were there for him when he needed it and he was there for you, well at least for the entirety of August.

Beginning of that summer, Aaron Judge and his girlfriend, now wife, Samantha called it quits. It made waves in your small town high school. Whispers and gossip spread like wildfire. The "it" couple who everyone bet on would be high school sweethearts.
You and Aaron were good friends; shared similar interests and hobbies. He was easily the most likeable persona in your school. Being the good friend you were, you checked on him.
Then those casual friendly texts; like a lightning strike, eventually turned into evening rendezvous. Him sneaking into your bedroom at night. Movies and popcorn ended with you two tangled up in your sheets; his scent still lingering the morning after. You would often wake up wondering if it was all a hallucination, with the way he made you feel.
God, how was he only a junior? With the way he was built and the way he carried himself.
You remembered the late night trysts where you would drive off to secluded beaches. No one but you and him, your hushed voices and giggles, the crashing of waves and the wailing of the wind. The moon and the stars looking down upon you.
Like waves hitting the shore, it call came crashing down. More gossip and more whispers. Eventually the secrets were spilled. Moments you treasured like crystals, shattered into broken glass.
In a blink of an eye, September began. You were already dreading and waiting for your last year in that hellhole to flutter by. As you passed by a familiar face, you couldn't help but swallow the bile forming in your throat. From late night longing stares to not even sparing a single glance.
The summer magic died. Like fireworks disappearing in the sky; leaving only traces of smoke in the night.
That was all you two were, together out of convenience and passersby in each other's lives.
He was back with his one true soulmate. Stronger than ever. Someday they would build something more with their love. And you?
You wouldn't even take up a single fragment of his life.

Too deep into the misery of past nostalgia, you were abruptly brought back to reality. A couple and their dog dilly-dallying into the sunset. Adding salt to the wound. It seemed like the universe didn't want to put you out of your misery either. Your gaze burned deep into them. Like you'd magically and instantaneously experience such joys if you stared long enough.
You couldn't help your wandering mind. Suddenly concerned about his wellbeing. He just recently became a dad.
There was no point to this aimless pondering. He had a much different life now. He's with someone who he belongs with. She was there for him through it all. His failures, hardships, and successes. She held his hand and stuck by him through thick or thin. And now they were building something even greater.
You were just a quick remedy through a rough patch.
You let out a bitter, sardonic laugh. How quickly those moments slipped by like the sand on your palms. Memories swiftly falling down, like sand trapped in a miniature hourglass.
Lock it all up and throw away the key. Let those fragments in the past drift away into the sea.
He's moved on. Shining brighter than the city lights and playing under the pressure of being a ruler of a baseball empire.
Far, far, far away from reach.
While you remained in familiarity of home, in the comforts of your own arms. Accepting the fact that you really had no right being upset anymore. Repeating these words like a mantra,

I know my blog is basically a soto shrine and i don't think i can write about other players and do them as much justice. But something about this song just screamed aaron judge. ps, this is all fiction he would never do you dirty like this.
