5 women in a man's life - The Third

And somehow these crushes manifest into a like and in between stutters, hi's and blushes, you get her number. The faintest excuse to talk to her will seem totally concrete. And every morning you want to get to school for that 15 minutes short- break where you will take her to a side and kuchi-koo. Making out is not on the agenda. Holding hands behind the basement stairs can seem like paradise as you stand there looking into her eyes, saying nothing.

You want to be at your best in the game during sports hour, for she might be noticing you from the corner of her eye from across the ground where she's playing an excuse for a sport called throw-ball. It's pitiful that you can't ride the same bus back home; the city is too big to live on the same street.

At home, your ears are receptive to every phone call, hoping this one is hers.And when she eventually calls, that assignment you were working on half heartedly becomes the last thing that deserves your attention. Even that yummy Mushroom Roll in the kitchen isn't very attractive. There is a time to eat, a time to work, and a time to sleep. Never a time to talk to her.

She's the high school sweetheart. The one you thought would stay with you forever.
Cheers to this girl who lit the unforgettable fire in you.
