-Letter to Crush
Dear Crush,
Today I have my fingers poised on these keys and I am strolling down the memory lanes. Times when it was budding teenage and even a mere eye contact with you would make the stomach feel fluttery and head a bit light. It was a sweet age, when crushes were just simple crushes, with no particular promises attached and of course, no one dared to approach directly to his crush too. A whole world resided in simple glimpses, corner twitching smiles and really, really small talks. Perhaps it was part of the effect of being in school, recent plunge in English movies may be, I Dunno.
I would reroute my cafeteria path just so that our paths would cross. And upon seeing you there, I would act oblivious and so-much-forced-natural. I don't know it was visible under that cool look and composure or not, but I always tried to hide it. Then I would giggle about you with my best friend. Those were some days.. New experience at using Internet and it was such a charm. Talking with boys/crushes was such a big deal! And if someone's crush added him/her on MSN messenger, sent a Hotmail email... It was considered to be a super great and a huge thing!
So, I remember you getting my email address from a mutual friend of ours and sending an email, full of emo quotes! :D
Haha, I was flattered. But I did get angry with my friend for giving my ID without my consent. Of course, email ID was considered to be a holy grail back then! XD
The era of forward emails was at peak then and I would receive ample from you. Neither I was the writing type back then nor were you.
(Pst, you still aren't. :P).
Then the huge gap was also somehow filled with the introduction of orkut. Still, we would be extra conscious to scrap because it was all public. Blimey, how we stalked! :D
It was fun, you know. Having something else to look forward to, instead of just lectures, tests and homework, while getting ready for school, having something to giggle about and have apparent serious discussions with best friends about you. That is how it worked; having a crush; it came and went away just like that. :D While we thought it was something serious. Lol. Childhood and initial teenage.
Ending note, I know you are doing great (hell, we are sometimes-once-in-a-while-texting friends now =D) and I also know you really, really, really want to get married. I hope you do soon :D
Best wishes your way, dude.
:)
