Travis was 18. I was 15. He was like my first love. .He was charming, challenging, and so much fun. I'm not surprised he was a Harley guy. I remember seeing his HEART SCAR, he said he had surgery as a baby. I often wondered if his heart could take life's roller coasters. I was setting here in my home tonight in lexington KY - where I'm from. I got this thought that Travis had passed. I looked him up and I got this. I just knew he was gone for some reason. I was 15 when I dated him. I always thought he was extremely smart and a fun and sweet soul. I was right. He was eccentric. He was a class of his own . He didn't care wat others thought. He was a class of his own. He had a good soul. I know he's good right now. RIP my young love...
